Torrent Sorting

[Rkpaxam]

Hi im looking for some advice on my torrent setup as im sure im overcomplicating things.

 

i have 4 versions of Qbittorrent 

1) Series

2) Films

3) music

4) Other

 

i have it running this was as at the time it was the only way i was able to separate where the files were stored for plex and i didnt want it pulling everything through.

is there a way a single instance can do this if so how?

I don't use Qbittorrent, but you need to set up categories. That way you can sort which types of torrents go where. You don't need to run 4 instances.

Just stick to categories if you dont need anything fancy, create a category for each of the 4 types, and then add a path for each category - then when you add a torrent select the appropriate category. I'm not familiar with Qbittorrent but it should be a straight forward process. If you get stuck, there should be a decent guide - i just searched for "qbittorrent categories" and the first result seems easy enough to follow

Sorted i set all this up when i was new to linux and unraid, turned out to be really easy with Qbittorrent as it has sorting built in i just needed to give radarr/sonar and torrent access to folders and a few new paths ! its not perfect as occasionally one is stored in the root folder but massive improvement.
