Once again, this is my understanding and experience with how it works. Once your client then reports the torrent is really finished (met the ratio, time, …), sonarr will remove it and clean up the hardlink stuff. Sonarr will make your torrent client think the file is still there so you can continue seeding, and it’s available in the correct series / season folder so XBMC or Mediaplayer or whatever can already index it and you can start watching. This is useful in case you want to keep seeding when the download is already complete. Once Transmission says it’s completed (based on time, seed ratio, whatever), sonarr will know this and move the files and remove the torrent from the client.įiles in use: sonarr is smart about this, and will move the files and make a hardlink (kind of like a shortcut).

If/when the torrent client drops completed downloads in the watch folder, sonarr will pick them up. Running 24/7: I suppose this doesn’t matter much when using TorrentBlackhole. Sonarr can just ask the client what the status is and where the files are. When using a torrent client that sonarr can talk to via its api, having the files moved and all is not applicable. So you’ll have to configure the torrent client like “if this ratio is met, move the files here and remove the torrent from my list” or something along those lines. With the TorrentBlackhole option, sonarr has to rely on your client to eventually make the files available in the watch folder. With other clients, it will use that client’s api to check what’s in the queue, see if anything failed, remove it, try another torrent, etc… The issue is that sonarr is running blind on your torrent downloads. torrent files, and another folder where the torrent client will move completed downloads so sonarr can pick them up.
