Removing completed torrents

[thecubical]

I’m trying to setup sonarr to remove my torrents from deluge.

For the life of me I can’t get deluged to put the torrents into a paused state which is what it seems sonarr requires them to be in (plus meeting the share ratio threshold).

A lot of the torrents I have will probably never get a share ratio > 0 due to their age and seed saturation.

Is there a way to force sonarr to remove them? Or is there another torrent client that has better support for extracting the files and then allowing sonarr to remove them?

Cheers

No, but you can force remove them from the client.

Sonarr will only remove them when the client marks them as complete regardless of the client.

I had deluge setup to remove torrents as soon as they were completed and I never saw sonarr pick up the completed files, even if i manually extracted the rar and left it in the final directory.

What is the expected behaviour if a torrent is removed from the torrnet client, will sonarr still pick up the files in the completed directory?

Sonarr will do nothing because it doesn’t know it’s completed it assumes it never completed and was removed from the download client. Sonarr uses the download client to inform it what has finished and needs to be imported (it checks with the download client periodically), it doesn’t check the completed folder for files.
