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?

    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
