TheLinuxGuy Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 I have historically downloaded media off torrents; then sonarr/radarr does its thing and moves the files from the download directory to the final media destination for plex. But as you know; you eventually forget about the original .torrent file used to download that media (in case it gets corrupted or what if you want to re-seed). Has anyone configured their unraid setup in a way that: - when you download torrents (sonarr/radarr) you keep a copy of the .torrent file - after sonarr/radar moves the data somewhere; you could decide to keep seeding that media I think because sonarr/radarr move the files and re-organize them, it is no longer possible to "seed" the original .torrent file and other complexities - but maybe I am wrong... I am sure some smart people here are probably doing exactly what I am asking above so looking for some wisdom since I now have unlimited fiber internet and feeling generous with seeding content Quote Link to comment
JonathanM Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 You would likely need to redo your share setup from scratch in order to accomplish this. The files must stay within a single share for both download and consumption. https://trash-guides.info/Hardlinks/How-to-setup-for/Unraid/ There are plenty of opinions about this subject, many that conflict. I personally like to keep separate shares, but that doesn't work for what you want. Quote Link to comment
