Changed downloader to Transmission and now Sonarr will not delete finished downloads after rename

Running Sonarr 2.0.0.3856 (develop branch) on OSX. Was running with uTorrent fine, renamed and deleted with no problems. I have changed to Transmission where I have selected a specific directory within Sonarr for the downloads. Transmission moves the files to this directory whilst seeding and Sonarr copies the video file to the TV directory and renames with no problems. However, once seeding has finished the downloaded files are just left, where (with uTorrent) Sonarr would tidy it up and delete them.

Nothing in debug logs (yet) to suggest why.

N.B. Default directory set in Transmission is NOT the same as what is set in Sonarr Transmission settings.

According to Transmission the only torrent being returned (Paw.Patrol.S03E03E04.Pups.Save.the.Soccer.Game.-.Pups.Save.a.Lucky.Collar.720p.NICK.WEBRip.AAC2.0.H.264-GoApe.mkv) hasn’t finished seeding: "isFinished":false,

The torrents that were listed previously:

Paw.Patrol.S03E08.Pups.Save.Friendship.Day.1080p.WEB-DL.AAC2.0.H.264-BTN.mkv

and

Star.Trek.Into.Darkness.2013.1080p.BluRay.DTS.x264-PublicHD

Don’t exist so Sonarr is unable to clean them up.

If you have instructed Transmission to remove the torrents after seeding you will need to change that to have it Pause/Stop the torrent instead.

Excellent catch, that was it!

Thank you.
