Torrent support has been merged into the develop branch
We’re at a point that we need some user input on the torrents branch. Due to potential stability issues this is not meant for end users.
Before diving into the torrents-branch please consider that it is recommended that you have past experience with the NzbDrone develop-branch and related subjects such as Debug/Trace log files.
Additionally, please note that torrents only work effectively with Completed Download Handling enabled.
You can view what has been implemented here: https://trello.com/c/MBXeXBqt/140-torrent-support
##Reporting issues and suggestions##
We welcome you to comment or report issues. A product is only as good as the input from its users.
Note that once something is fixed I will delete the related posts in an effort to keep this thread clean. Atm I’ve kept a small changelog on this thread to attribute fixes to the affected users.
If you believe you’ve been ignored please contact us on IRC or send a private message.
If you have an issue try to find the related error in the log file, preferably at Debug level. Things such as stacktraces and release/file names help us understand and reproduce the issue.
Obviously you’re also welcome on IRC: http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=#sonarr
##Known issues##
- Kickass does not search for
Daily/Anime series. Completed Download Handling for Torrent Clients only work on localhost.- NzbDrone is atm unable to handle torrent downloads containing .rar files. (Use an unpack script in the downloader)
No good integration with nzbToMedia, need to collaborate with the nzbToMedia devs to get to something useful.
##Getting started##
You should take a backup before switching to the torrents-branch (https://github.com/NzbDrone/NzbDrone/wiki/Backup-and-Restore)
Once you go to the torrents-branch you should stay on it. If you delete the torrent Indexers & Download Clients from the NzbDrone configuration it is currently possible to revert back to develop-branch.
It doesn’t update? What should I do now? If the version of torrents is LOWER than your current version then NzbDrone will refuse to automatically update. You should wait until a new version for torrents is published, otherwise you might run into database migration conflicts. (You can try download the installer manually, but that will only work if the database is compatible)
###Windows###
Switch your branch to “torrentsdevelop” (no quotes): https://github.com/NzbDrone/NzbDrone/wiki/Release-Branches
After changing branches, compare the version you have installed with System->Updates. We get a lot of question by people whom only switched branches and didn’t actually install the torrent version, usually in the form “Where can I add torrent indexers/download clients, I can’t find it.”. Read the “It doesn’t update” section earlier.
###Linux/OS X###
Either switch the release branch (same steps as Windows) and update via drone’s UI.
