I recently set up radarr and sonarr and I noticed that in Qbittorrent, it automatically adds the label/tag/category of 'radarr' or 'tv-sonarr'. (The terminology of label, tag, category changes based on how you're accessing it. It's confusing and makes this hard for me to search). I'd like to auto-tag/label/categorize by indexer because different indexers have different seeding criteria. What is the best way to auto-tag? Is it through radarr and sonarr or through qbittorrent? And where are the settings to control that? Or do I need a plugin or something?

Edit: I asked this in the Radarr Discord and they told me that you cant use Radarr to do this. They suggested setting up qbit_manage to do it.

Hasn't qBittorrent got an indexer column? I'm not home to check, but I'm sure I've got that set up

[–] akilou 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I just checked. There is a column you can choose to show called "tracker" but it shows weird stuff. Some of the torrents list torrentleach.org but a lot of them are stackoverflow (strangely) or random urls I don't recognize: jumbohostpro.eu, bgp.technology, empirehost.me... Etc

All those latter files are probably from public trackers since they're showing random URLs. I do like the other person suggested and just sort by tracker within the sonarr/radarr categories. If you don't use those categories, sonarr and radarr won't be able to find them in qbit. What I've also done is to create additional categories for each of my private trackers and then I just move the files over to those categories once they've been imported in my libraries, so I can seed them for as long as I like.

You might look into Prowlarr as you can set seed requirements on an individual basis for each tracker you use and it makes adding/removing trackers from the other *arr apps very easy.

I exclusively use the same 3 private trackers. So if the weird urls are from public trackers that information isn't helpful to me anyway.

The seed requirements are only for a ratio, but my trackers let you stop seeding before a ratio of 1 if you've seeded for a certain amount of time. That amount of time varies by tracker. Also I don't want it to stop when I hit the bare minimum. I want an easy way to figure out which torrents I can safely delete when I want to clear up some space

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That's odd then. I'm also in TorrentLeach and all those show up correctly along with Ather and Blutopia. The only time I see random stuff is when sonarr/radarr grabs something from TPB or 1337x. I just go to the radarr category, for example, and them sort by date and then sort by tracker so that they're in chronological order by tracker and delete things that are old with plenty of seeders.

I can't imagine how you're unable to see the tracker URLs since QBit needs them to find the files and private trackers use private URLs to prevent people from cheating on their ratio.

[–] akilou 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Can Radarr pull torrents from Trackers you didn't tell it about? Why would it pull something from TPB or 1337x if you didn't add that as an option?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

No, it only uses what you've configured it to use and I have those set up alongside the private trackers on my setup. I assumed you were getting those random tracking urls from a public site like that but that doesn't appear to be the case. As I said I can't imagine where they would come from since I've never seen a private tracker that allows uploads with extra third-party trackers attached. Maybe you're looking in the wrong spot on QBit?

[–] akilou 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

This is where I'm looking. The categories at the top, TL, TD, IPT are from when I label them manually. But when I request through Radarr, I don't know which tracker it came from so I can't label even manually. I assume the tracker section at the bottom is what we're both referring to. What's weird is that the numbers don't add up. I only have 37 active torrents but the numbers in the tracker section add up to much higher.

Edit: if you add up the unique numbers, you get 37 (23+10+4). What the hell does that mean?

Edit 2: ok so I cross checked with the tracker sites themselves and the numbers match. I have 10 on Torrent Leech, 23 on IPTorrents, and 4 on TorrentDay.

Can someone help me put these pieces together so they make sense?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Iirc you can add tags to specific trackers in prowlarr (i think sonarr and radarr too, but im not sure) and they might do what you need. But you can also set seedtime/minimum ratio per tracker in prowlarr, thats what i do

[–] akilou 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I don't see an option for it in Prowlarr. Well, there is a section called "tags" when I edit an indexer, but it has a warning "tags should be use with caution they can have unintended effects. An indexer with a tag will only sync to apps with the same tag" which makes me think it's not the kind of "tag" I'm talking about.

If you know how to do it in Prowlarr, can you take a screenshot for me?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

the tags section is what i was referring to, i remember seeing it when i set up my indexers and assumed it was able to do that. after playing around with it, i dont think its what you are looking for
