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?
Yeah they’re just fairly vague about what you need to do for hard linking to work IMO. I just had the same shared folder that all containers pointed towards for their data directory, but since the directory inside the qbit and *arr containers didn’t have the exact same name and path, hard linking didn’t work.
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

But this will work
