I am sure I am just missing something simple… I have prowlarr -> sonarr/radarr -> qbittorrent -> jellyfin I created three directories. /jelly/video /sonarr /radarr. I configured sonarr and radar to use their respective directories. And I configured qbittorrent to use /jelly/video as the default download dir.
But what seems to be happening is that if I download a movie, it ends up in both /radarr and /jelly/video. And then if I delete it from /jelly/video it doesn’t seed for others.
What am I missing here?
but why would you want to stop seeding?
I mean that’s up to you, my personal settings are 2:1, it’ll delete and stop seeding once it’s uploaded as much as 2 downloads worth.
But it’s important to remember that Radarr/Sonarr are Usenet first, torrents didn’t have official support till fairly recently and it’s still a little wonky
Officially, to seed you basically have to have a duplicate file until your set threshold is reached.
If you want to seed forever (or at least a really long time (ty btw for your contributions)) I’d say you’re probably going to want some custom scripts. Have Radarr move the file and rename as normal and then your script to symlink it back to the torrent directory under the original filename so it can continue to seed without taking up double space for every movie
