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!

      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.

      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.

          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.

              They might be, but they still block the download of the actual episode or movie you were trying to get :)

                  Btw, Sonarr was recently updated and you can now create a Releases profile that automatically blocks malicious torrents! The whole process of setting up the arr stack can be a bit much at first, but once you get it going it’s super satisfying to see everything working :)

                    Thanks for sharing ! While we are still on the topic , I already have Sonarr and Radarr setup but i don’t use them right now. I need to get myself the proton paid tier to enjoy port forwarding and maybe faster , and more reliable downloads .

                    Infact i am so impatient of how long it takes to download one album from lidarr , that i made my own music downloader for now.
