Hi everyone!

I downloaded music and movies all my life without any worries. Im from Argentina and piracy isn’t a problem there.

Im actually living in Spain and i don’t know how things work here. Should i use a vpn or take any special measures when torrenting here?

If so, can u recomend any? Can u tell me how you download your shit?

Have a nice day!

So I recently got into a few private trackers which got me pretty excited just to notice today that my share ratio is abyssmal even though I have my qbittorrent configured to seed everything until the inactive seeding time reaches 10 days.

Now I understand I can only seed when someone wants to leech it. That is not what this is about.

As far as I noticed, the private site still considers torrents to be downloaded even when my swaparr cancels the download due to me not getting the metadata for too long. Is this correct? What would be the best course of action to prevent getting ratioed (lol) by inactive torrents?

Is it

a) remove the download from the arr but leave it in qbittorrent so that it eventually downloads and seeds it back without blocking my actual media download?

b) increase the time needed to consider the torrent inactive and remove it to more than my 45 minutes?

c) just ignore it and pray for good torrents that i can seed to increase my ratio? (this option still leaves those abandoned torrents in my HnR list though. isnt this bad?)

I am looking for projects that I can contribute to through torrenting. Ideally, projects with a good(ish) cause in mind. Whenever possible, I try to download FOSS via torrent and permaseed. I've also started making my bandwidth available for Anna's Archive, especially those books/texts that need seeders the most. FInally, I started downloading some content from Kiwix so I'm permaseeding any of those. What else can I do? I'm trying to steer clear of any of the usual torrenting sites.

I have been torrenting for a little while now and use ProtonVPN with port forwarding. I use their P2P preset and use qbittorrent. In the beginning it was all fine and working, i got a solid seeding speed of ~800Mbits after configuring everything (I have 1 Gigabit internet speed). Lately though it’s like no traffic goes through.

There are countless of times that I get a bad gateway or time out whenever i try to open any website. The torrent takes ages to retrieve metadata and my upload/download speed can go anywhere between 50KiB/s to 70MiB/s. Usually at the higher end when i’m idling and not doing anything else and after having it run for a while. But it’s been getting worse and worse and worse and i have no clue why.

• I’ve tried changing from Wireguard TCP to UDP, no luck.
• I’ve tried changing firewall privileges, no luck.
• I’ve tried changing countries, mixed results.
• I’ve tried setting connection limits in qBittorrent, no luck.
• I’ve updated my routers firmware, no luck.

My internet speeds are fine otherwise without VPN. Is it VPN accelerator or maybe Alternative Routing?

I don’t know what to do. Is it my ISP slowing it all down because they are detecting all of this traffic being routes through a VPN? Is it some configuration I haven’t thought of? I really need help. I’ve tried troubleshooting with ChatGPT but he just gives the most basic solutions ever that I’ve already tried.

So I have just setup automation with Sonarr and Radarr. And this issue is affecting both Sonarr and Radarr.

[READ BELOW FOR INFO] Essentially, the issue is, is that whenever I download something through Sonarr, which goes to qbittorrent, it downloads into /synology/TV. However, sonarr is creating an empty folder for the show in /synology/TV/[Show name]. After the download is completed in qbittorrent, the download isn't moved into that folder, it remains in /synology/TV.

E.G. I send a request for "Friends" from sonarr. Sonarr then creates the empty folder "Friends (1994)", so the directory would be /synology/TV/"Friends (1994)".

HOWEVER, when the media download is completed and removed from /synology/Incomplete, it gets placed in /synology/TV not .../"Friends (1994)".

It obviously shows that it is going to the save path I have for the qbittorrent category "tv-sonarr", but when I don't have a save path, it downloads to /synology/tv-sonarr, which isnt a directory so I can't win there. And it's not like I can hardcode tv-sonarr to be /download/TV/"Friends (1994)" because, well other shows will be in there.

I know this can be done but I don't know how to do it. If anyone can give me a hand, that would be fantastic as I have been pulling my hair out for days.

Here is an imgur link with some photos of sonarr and qbittorren that may help: https://imgur.com/a/wSLGQog

Some background info.

• I have sonarr, radarr, prowlarr, and qbittorrent as Docker containers;

• The download path on my system (ubuntu server) is:

/synology

/TV

/Movies

/Incomplete

• In qbittorrent, I have the volume /downloads pointing to /synology

• In sonarr, I have /Media, pointing to /synology/TV. And this works when importing my library.

• Connected qbittorrent as the download client to sonarr, which added the category (in qbittorrent), "tv-sonarr", and I edited the save path to /downloads/TV

-In qbittorrent download options, I have:

Default Torrent Management Mode: Automatic

Default save path: /downloads

Keep Incomplete Torrents In: /downloads/Incomplete

• In sonarr, I have the option ticked in Media Management to create empty series folders (and some thing for radarr equivalent).

Seeders are available but most of my torrents are stuck - I tried all the google results with advanced and connection settings. Using Qbittorrent with Eddie/Airvpn on a Mac.

I've been reading around for any SoundCloud archives that exist with audio, as I'm trying to recover songs from about 2021-2022 and I've seen a few mentions of someone who (apparently) downloaded the entirety of soundcloud in 2017. I was wondering if there were any more recent and public archives. I know there are metadata archives but they have not helped me so far, same story with the wayback machine as there are not many snapshots and none have audio files.

I notice Synology themselves only list their own drives as compatible, but I see plenty of pre-built setups being sold with Ironwolf drives. I'm guessing this is just Synology trying to mislead customers into not buying third party.

Like many, I rarely use it need a DVD drive but every now and then you find a disc you haven't backed up or can't download. Different region settings are tricky and also interested in writing Blu-ray discs for some backup but rarely do this. Just wondered if anyone rips a lot of DVDs which drives they find reliable. Have USB3 and esata ports available.

I had a DIY setup with a raspberry pi and two easystore desktop drives. I decided to take the plunge on a Synology NAS with NAS rated drives. WIll the easystores last longer if I relegate them to purely backup instead of accessing the data on them all the time?

Been a while since I’ve messed with any. I’m setting up a new media htpc and want to go away from all the my book duos and my book pros that I am currently using. Currently have them all on my desk but this will be moving to my main movie room and want a cleaner look. Will be running Windows 11 since this will be used for ripping media as well as occasional gaming. Currently have a total of 8 drives, thinking of running raid 6 or 1 + 0. Recommendations are greatly appreciated. Tia
