I have a well configured arr stack , i am sure of this because i used YAMS (Yet Another Media Server) to get it to work , but when i try to download using qbittorent the downloads don’t go through like 90 % of the time . Most of them just end up getting stuck like in the picture .
Not all of them get stuck like that , i was able to download some albums from Lidarr , but really it’s a hit and miss and most of the time it’s a miss. :(
If you have an arr stack , have you faced this kind of problem before ? if so how did you handle it ?
EDIT:
Thanks guys , i just made the changes that were suggested in the comments and there was a significant improvement!
If your downloads are getting stuck then no, it’s not set up properly. Double check your filters and custom format rules. Also, you can use Cleanuparr to automatically remove stalled downloads and trigger a new search.
I see , so your downloads don’t get stuck like that most of the time?
That torrent has no seeds. The column seeds says 0(0).
Some torrent terminology: Seeds are clients that say they have the full download, they make the system work.
Peers are clients that are trying to download, that one shows 1(2). That implies there are two clients, and you are connected to one of them. They may also have none of the download yet, and without a seed, neither of you will.
I see , Thanks!
Well, no. If they do because I’m looking for something more obscure, cleanuparr removes the dead torrent on its own. Check your indexers in prowlarr. You probably need to add some more to get decent results that have more seeds.
Thanks just setup cleanuparr ! it’s really amazing
Glad to hear it! I’d also recommend using a whitelist or blacklist file to filter out file formats that you know shouldn’t be there if you’re downloading movies/tv shows. In public trackers it sometimes happens that there are malicious and have a .exe virus with the name of the movie lr latest episode. Using a blacklist you’re able to easily filter that out.
