So I’ve got jellyfin all set up, but I’m having some issues with files downloading from qbittorrent and Knowing exactly how and when they get moved over, either the sonar or jellyfin repository, whichever is the final destination. This is important because my torrenting drive is separate from my media drive. I have noticed some shows and files staying on my torrenting drive while others go over to the media drive. And I’m and to figure out where the issue might be that’s causing this, I think I need a refresher on exactly how and when these files are supposed to be moved over. Since I can’t find any sort of documentation inside the apps.

Can anybody explain this to me like super simply? I just took an edible and it’s starting to kick in, but I still want to figure this out. Thanks y’all!

    I believe it’s actual an interaction between Sonarr and qbittorrent and jellyfin isn’t involved. Qbittorrent should have a setting for share ratio of when it’s marked “complete”. Like 1:1 download vs upload ratio. Then in Sonarr under the qbittorrent download client you check the box for remove completed downloads from the client. So popular together will reach whatever ratio you have set right away and be removed but others will take a long time or never hit that ratio. Maybe, could have nothing to do with that and I have my concept wrong.

      Uh oh, if that’s the case I’m in trouble, see, I have a blanket “72 hours” seeding ratio set up in qbit, specifically for a private tracker I’m using, but the shows I download don’t necessarily need that requirement.

      I may have to find a way to only send seeding goals for specific torrents if seeding is causing it to not be transferred over

        You can set individual seed time/ratios in the indexer settings for each tracker in sonarr and radarr.

        But also, if you are just seeing the files remaining on your torrenting drive but the torrents aren’t listed in qbit anymore make sure to ignore me altogether!
