Howdy Everyone,
I've started the transition away from uTorrent and my Windows machine and gone the FreeNAS route with qBittorrent.
Thanks to this forum post How To: Install qBittorrent in a jail I was able to get everything up and running smoothly.
However as we all know that not every torrent won't be a compressed ".rar" file and one of the features that I loved from uTorrent was the ability to automatically unrar the files like so:
Run this program when a torrent finishes:
Going through trials and tribulations and already having the qBittorrent jail created I performed the following:
Then I installed "unrar"
Now we can go back to the qBittorrent web interface and select the following
Tools -> Options -> Downloads tab and select the check box where it says
Run external program on torrent completion
Then use this line to unrar after each torrent is done:
Hope for whoever runs across this gets you where you need to go as it took me some time with trial an error figuring this out.
Enjoy,

"C:\Program Files\WinRAR\UnRAR.exe" x -r "%D\*" "%D"

pkg update
pkg upgrade
Then I installed "unrar"
pkg install unrar

"/usr/local/bin/unrar" x -ibck -inul "%F/*.r*" "%F/"
