Example arrow.conf :
chmod +x arrow-linux-amd64 ./arrow-linux-amd64 | Command | Action | |---------|--------| | add <magnet or torrent file path> | Start downloading | | list | Show active downloads | | pause <id> | Pause a torrent | | resume <id> | Resume | | remove <id> | Delete torrent (keeps downloaded data) | | exit | Quit |
proxy = socks5://127.0.0.1:9050 anonymous = true force_encryption = true Restart Arrow. All traffic will go through Tor. ⚠️ Anonymous mode disables DHT (privacy risk) and only works with trackers that allow Tor exit nodes. Many public trackers block Tor. 6. Configuration & Optimization Arrow stores settings in arrow.conf (create manually). Useful options:
| Option | Value | Effect | |--------|-------|--------| | download_dir | /path/to/folder | Change save location | | max_peers | 50 | Reduce for low bandwidth | | upload_rate | 10 | KB/s max upload | | download_rate | 0 | 0 = unlimited | | port | 6881 | Incoming port (forward if needed) | | encryption | forced | Avoid ISP throttling |
