I’ve noticed that since the last couple of qBittorent updates things haven’t been working out very well.
I had an issue where Sonaar wouldn’t send the request to qBittorrent, now with the latest update it appears that it keeps on sending the same request multiple times.
I woke up this morning to find the same show downloaded 15 different times 
Anyone else having that issue?
C’mon, please, include details, versions, logs!
My apologizes…
I’m using both Radaar and Sonaar… both running latest versions.
Here is the logs from Radaar:

Here is what I’m getting in Sonaar… same type of error:

And if that matters, I recently removed the Drone Factory settings since it’s supposed to get deprecated however it just doesn’t seem to properly grab the movies.
I have Remote Path Mappings setup. My download clients is running on another server (VM) but it’s downloading to a local path to the Sonarr server.
I have mapping setup as follows:
Host: remote torrent host IP
Remote Path: /media/Downloads (which is how it’s mapped in qBittorrent)
Local Path: C:\tDownloads\
Not sure if that’s correct.
Also Radarr Ver. 0.2.0.778, Sonarr Ver. 2.0.0.4919
That’s a log entry from the 23rd, over a week ago, and for an older version of Sonarr. The other log entries are for Radarr and thus not my concern.
Well seems to be working at this point… only part that doesn’t seem to be working is the “Completed Download Handling” removal… Seems that Sonarr makes a copy of the file in the proper folder, however leaves the original in place and torrent active.
Waiting for another dl to complete to post the log data…
So nothing in the log… I’m actually seeing that latest episode downloaded however it’s not getting removed even.
Here is the note on the Activity page:
This show has individual episode mappings on TheXEM but the mapping for this episode has not been confirmed yet by their administrators. TheXEM needs manual input.
Any ideas?
I’ve also been having the same issue with the latest qBittorrent. I’ve noticed that when it happens the categories on the downloads in qBittorrent haven’t been set to “tv-sonarr” or “radarr”. Setting the category allows the downloads to import normally.
I suspect there was some API change in the latest qBittorrent that breaks setting the category.
I haven’t been able to repro just yet to grab a log, will update when I have one.
latest qbittorrent and sonarr seem to be playing ok… Torrent is probably sent and moved, just not deleted from the original location or qbittorrent client.
I think the API changes are probably what made the difference. Started acting wonky starting with v3.3.12.
It wouldn’t delete until it finishes seeding. So that’s expected unless you can confirm it finished seeding.
So that’s expected unless you can confirm it finished seeding.
Can confirm. The torrent (seeding or otherwise) does not show up in the activity list in Sonarr since the category wasn’t set. Setting the category manually solves the issue.
I’ve got some shows airing tonight so I should hopefully have a log for tomorrow.
Be sure to enable trace level logs, otherwise we won’t know which api calls sonar made to qbit.
I am also having the same issue with both sonarr and radarr. I am currently on qbittorrent 3.3.15. The category is not being set on the downloads and it is being downloaded several times. When I manually click search button it immediately adds multiple downloads to qbittorrent and downloads all of them.
Is there any solution?
We’re not going to speculate on what the issue might be, we need ((trace logs)) as indicated in the post right above yours.
that was it. set the seed ratio (was turned off, then set it low enough to test and it did it’s job)!!!
