Auto Cross Seed to increase ratio on multiple trackers

Each morning I check what Sonarr has sent for download from my multiple private trackers. When I find a torrent downloaded from tracker1, I then search tracker2, tracker3 etc for the same torrent which has the same size and number of files. I then download those torrents and add them to deluge (in a paused state), hit ‘force recheck’ to ensure the data is the same, and then hit resume. Usually the files are around 99% the same (a few bits here and there are different due to nfo modifications between the sites), so deluge will download the missing bits, then start seeding to tracker2,3 etc.

This is a well documented and excellent way of increasing ratio on the other trackers, as of course you are not downloading much from them so all seeding is a net gain in ratio.

Was wondering if Sonarr could reproduce this workflow as it is quite time consuming. The workflow I see would be something like this:

  1. Sonarr searches for a show as usual, and creates a list of all results across all enabled trackers.
  2. It sends 1st release to deluge, and monitors it as usual while it downloads.
  3. When download complete, it sends the next identical release found on a second tracker to deluge in a paused state. 4. It then ensures that the files are matching to a user specified tolerance IE: 95 percent plus
  4. If tolerance is met, it resumes the download.
  5. Repeat steps 3-5 until all matching torrents are sent to deluge.

This would be an awesome way to increase availability across multiple trackers and thus help the tracking community, and of course benefit each user by building their ratios.

Thanks!

I don’t see this being something we’d implement, its a niche feature that is difficult to implement correctly and would likely be affected by different client’s API support (there is a severe lack of consistency).

I see. Oh well thanks for replying :slight_smile:

Even without this Sonarr continues to blow any other automation system out of the water, so keep up the good work!
