I ask this because whilst *arr apps supposedly import downloaded torrents to their respective media folders, my downloads folder for qbittorrent is over 200GB in size when I’ve got zero incomplete downloads.

Have I set something up wrong? Or is it setting some kind of hard link between the downloads and media folder?

    Wait can you expand on that a little more? I literally was just now getting ready to try and troubleshoot why my hardlinking was not working.

    I was under the impression that the torrent storage and media library just needed to be in the same share, but maybe there is more to it…?

      The path inside the containers to where you download your torrents, so the path after the “:”, has to be exactly the same on both your torrent container and your *arr containers

      Example below won’t work with hard linking

      Radar:

      • ${path_to_storage}:/downloads/torrents
      • ${path_to_storage}:/media

      Qbit:

      • ${path_to_storage}:/downloads/torrents

      But this will work

      Radar:

      • ${path_to_storage}:/downloads/torrents
      • ${path_to_storage}:/downloads/media

      Qbit:

      • ${path_to_storage}:/downloads/torrents
