Sonarr moving instead of copying

Help & Support
1

I would prefer for Sonarr to copy files out of my torrent client’s download directory and into my plex directory instead of moving them so that I can seed. It was doing copying at some point, but recently it switched and I don’t know why, I’m not sure if I changed something or not that caused this. I’m not using Drone Factory at all. I turned on debug logging to verify and saw the log messages:

Feb 18 19:55:11 nuc sonarr[26153]: [Debug] EpisodeFileMovingService: Moving episode file: /data/downloads/<REDACTED>.mkv to /data/plex/<REDACTED>.mkv
Feb 18 19:55:11 nuc sonarr[26153]: [Debug] DiskTransferService: Move [/data/downloads/<REDACTED>.mkv] > [/data/plex/<REDACTED>.mkv]

When I would expect to see a message containing “Copying episode file” i.e. this function being executed. I’ve looked but can’t find a relevant setting. Can someone help me out?

If the torrent is still seeding the file, then Sonarr will copy or hard link it, otherwise it will move it.

Is there some way I can instruct Sonarr to always copy?

No, as long as its seeding it will copy/hardlink though.
