PSA: Sickbeard is out, Sonarr is in.

Ah - great, found it - weird that it downloads from both though.

Another question - specific to Deluge - I see it leaves the downloaded files in the download folder, without removing them, even after seeding has completed... anyway to get it to remove them?

Deluge - Preferences - Plugins - Find More Plugins - Plugins (3rd Party) - Auto Remove Plus

or

Check Sonarr under Download Client if Remove is turned on.

I'm using a 80Gb SSD - so it fills up fast :p

The Auto Remove Plus plugin should do the job just fine, you can then do something like set it to scan every 12 hours and remove files older than 24 hours, or whatever works for your setup.

Mine also does that sometimes and I only use newsgroups. Check your quality profiles, it could be a better version or a repack that it is trying to download.

Yeh, the repacks I'm used too... just weird that it'd download the same two things on the same day from two different sources.
 
I've never seen that happen, were they the exact same files, exact same file name and everything, or was it the same episode but different releases?

Deleted everything now - but I'll double check.

In the ones of today. An episode from last night was in both SABNZB and Deluge paused queues. (they run on a schedule). I've seen it happen a few times since enabling torrents.
 
When a download fails, do you have to have more than one indexer for Sonarr to go looking for a replacement? Literally none of my failed downloads are being re-found

Do a manual search for one of those episodes and see what comes up. It should download another release from the same indexer if one is available. I have had problems where my quality profile is blocking some of the releases, or the file size I set for a certain quality.
 
I've found that when stuff fails it only retries once or twice - then it just sits in the backlog - and I have to manually do a search from the Sonarr interface.
 
Alright, I'll give that a go tonight, thanks. Still better than having to go slog through torrents like I have been. I only converted from sickbeard this week... just noob things :p
 
Seems like I need to find more indexers, not having any luck completing anything older than about 3 months
 
I've been downloading at 0KB/s for the last couple of days now... :(

If the download does not complete I think the problem is rather with your news server. They might already have had takedown requests for the stuff you are trying to download. Try to add extra servers, even some free ones will help. Xsusenet has a free option, although it is annoying to activate it every month. Freeusenet also has a free account I think. Or buy a block account with a different provider to use as backup. You can set the server priority to first try your normal server, then the free or bqckup accounts if it cannot find the data.
 
I've decide to finally migrate from SB to Sonarr. Everything works well, except how SAB processes the episodes. It is not repairing and unpacking and renaming the episodes at all.

I've messed around with Category settings both in SAB and Sonarr, but still no luck.

Any tips or setup steps for this before I Google Fu for 3 hours trying to figure out Drone This and PAR that?
