+### qbit-maid
+Development [^1] of qbitmaid was over the course of several months. At first, the project was called qbit-clean and didn't have all the features the project has now. The issue was mainly with my download cache in unraid being filled with torrents I no longer needed to seed[^2]. When I would get a notification from the server that the download cache was 95% full I would have to manually go to [qbittorrent](https://www.qbittorrent.org/), sort the torrents by age and remove the ones older than two weeks avoiding torrents I wanted to keep.
