I created Purgarr, a lighweight Python container that helps keep your torrent queue clean. I am looking for people to test/review/improve. I made this because, too often, my torrent queue would fill up with low-quality torrents that stalled, or my imported torrents would sit as completed and not be cleaned up. I tried to get this issue solved natively by adjusting Arr settings, but was unable to (even following trash guides), so I over-engineered this solution.
So far, Purgarr features include:
- Cleans your torrent client of media imported by Sonarr and Radarr.
- Detects and removes stalled torrents.
- Adds stalled torrents to Sonarr's and Radarr's blocklist.
- Triggers a search to replace low-quality torrents.
Unfortunately, qBittorrent is the only torrent client supported as of now, but if there is any demand, I will add additional clients. Love to hear the community's feedback
