I am sure I am just missing something simple... I have prowlarr -> sonarr/radarr -> qbittorrent -> jellyfin I created three directories. /jelly/video /sonarr /radarr. I configured sonarr and radar to use their respective directories. And I configured qbittorrent to use /jelly/video as the default download dir.

But what seems to be happening is that if I download a movie, it ends up in both /radarr and /jelly/video. And then if I delete it from /jelly/video it doesn't seed for others.

What am I missing here?

Hi. I found this thread as I'm trying to setup Radarr/qBittorrent myself at the moment. I've followed the guides over at https://drfrankenstein.co.uk/ So my folder structure is:

torrents
- incomplete
- completed
  - 01_movies
  - 01_movies_animation
  - 02_series
  - 02_series_animation
media
- 01_movies
- 01_movies_animation
- 02_series
- 02_series_animation

~~I'm not sure if this is possible. Can I make Radarr add torrents to qBittorrent using the category selected in Radarr? In qBittorrent, I have the default category "radarr" where all movies are added to when making a request in Jellyseerr. After that, they are copied over to "media>01_movies" or "media/01_movies_animation" depending on what category I choose in Jellyseerr when making a request. Those categories work fine and so that media is sorted according to the paths and automatically shows up in Jellyfin. But in qBittorrent, all torrents that are added with Radarr are all just dumped in the "radarr" category, hence the folder "torrents/completed/radarr/".~~

I have enabled hard links in Radarr, but needless to say, they don't work. I understand too little of how this works to sort that out. I'm just looking to have my torrents organized, but maybe this is just a really silly thought? I think I'm just stuck in my old ways as I've prior to this always downloaded torrents manually with magnet links. So then, having it organized on disk was much more important as that's where I found my stuff. But maybe now, the way to go is to just dump them in the "radarr" folder and forget about it. No use to keep the torrents organized in there as Radarr manages the movies anyway? Maybe I should just work on making hard links work and then you use Radarr to filter your stuff and remove content when you need to?

EDIT: I'm not sure if this is the way to do it, but I added another qBitorrent download client in Radarr. One points to 01_movies and the other to 01_movies_animation. this forces the torrents to download to the selected folder in "torrents/completed/" now the only thing I need is to figure out how to make the hard links work.
