The Challenge: Bandwidth Competition

Many media server administrators face a common dilemma:

• Remote streaming sessions become laggy and buffer when downloads consume bandwidth
• Manual speed adjustments are tedious and often forgotten
• Users complain about poor streaming quality
• Download tasks take longer when manually throttled unnecessarily

The Solution: Automated Intelligence

This workflow creates a responsive system that:

• Detects remote Plex connections instantly via webhooks
• Automatically applies appropriate throttling to qBittorrent
• Restores full speeds when streaming activity ends
• Operates silently without requiring constant management
