Sonarr && qBittorrent && Continue seeding after moving the file

Hi,
I’m a bit curious about the above.
How does it work?
When Sonarr has grabbed the completed file (copy and delete) qBittorrent continues to seed the file until the ratio is reached.
If I check the seeding it says that the seeded file lies under the directory “TorrentComplete”, but that directory is empty since Sonarr has deleted the file.
How is qB able to continue seeding the file when it is gone. If I restart qB I get a warning that the file is missing.

Thats definitely a bug, Sonarr shouldn’t be moving the file, I see the issue and will get a fix out shortly.

For the time being Sonarr won’t be able to remove completed downloads because there isn’t a good way for Sonarr to get the seeding status from qBittorrent at this time.

Oops…
I must admit that I prefer the way it’s done now :smile:
(since it actually seems to work, or is it “seems”. Does qB just say it is seeding even though it doesn’t have anything to seed?)

Qbit is unable to seed because the file is gone, it just doesn’t know yet.

Suppose I want this feature “Remove from qB directory when done as today but also delete the torrent from qB”, is it feasible today?

No, the only reason it removed it was due to a bug. Sonarr currently has no way to know if the torrent has finished seeding so it can’t remove it when it does finish seeding.
