Description of issue: Rtorrent not moving files on download. I am able to download files they are just not imported into Sonarr and returns the error above. Nothing has changed from my previous setup and I am not sure why this is failing now. From what I have seen in these forums, this was supposedly fixed a few versions ago. I tried creating a brand new download client, modifying the path in rtorrent, specifying a path in Sonarr. Nothing seems to work.

Thanks for your help!

What is the directory value in rTorrent set to?

The problem seems to have resolved itself… not sure why. It was the standard directory for my seedbox. ~/downloads
