[SOLVED] qBittorrent systemd unit

The Arch qBittorrent systemd unit differs from the upstream by a non-configurable "qbt" user. However, I prefer to run qbittorrent-nox as the (non-root) login user, so that I can transfer and manipulate the downloaded files via SFTP.

Is the separate user approach somehow better? If so how do I interact with its files? (I really don't want to "sudo mv" and "sudo chown" everytime...)

Wait never mind, there are 2 service units, one with "@" (which takes in a user) and without.
