How does it handle qBittorrent queueing #74

Closed HomebrewDotNET closed 2 months ago

HomebrewDotNET commented 2 months ago

I was wondering how declutarr handles torrent queueing. Could't find anything in the documentation (or I missed it) Does it also tag them as stalled?

It does not handle queues at all.

In my own setup I download everything in parallel. If you chose to queue, what would you expect decluttarr do for you?

Well I'm currently running without queue as well with Decluttarr (And it's running great btw, nice job :D)

Been looking getting an ssd for my setup but noticed my in progress folder is 2TB+ so queueing should decrease this size at the same time.

Now on how to handle this is quite an annoying issue since I don't think qBit exposes a queued status for downloading torrents. So I guess you'd need to check how many torrents are 'Active' and only start deleting/removing if the active amount of torrents falls below a threshold. Because then we can assume the stalled torrents are actually stalled and not 'Queued'

But as I said an annoying issue to deal with so I don't expect you to fix this. Was just wondering :)

thx :)

re queueing: queue all you want, nothing stops you from doing so ;) and decluttarr should still work as expected. decluttarr does not mess with queued items; only those that are in specific states (such as stalled, or downloading too slow) get whacked.

suggest you simply try it out; enable queueing and you'll see that they will be left in peace whilst they are queued.

Ok cool. Good to know. Thanks!
