Lidarr
Lidarr is a music collection manager for Usenet and BitTorrent users. It can monitor multiple RSS feeds for new albums from your favorite artists and will interface with clients and indexers to grab, sort, and rename them. It can also be configured to automatically upgrade the quality of existing files in the library when a better quality format becomes available.
Autobrr
Autobrr is an app that allows you connect to an Indexer’s IRC channel, immediately starting torrent downloads for newer movies/shows without relying on Radarr/Sonarr’s slower RSS feed. This allows you to help build ratio on private trackers by beating everyone else to the torrent, so you can seed it to everyone else! To get started, add this container declaration into your docker-compose.custom.yaml file under the services: parent item. autobrr: container_name: autobrr image: ghcr.
Seeding With Qbitmanage
In general, it is good practice to seed any torrents you download. Seeding is the act of sharing a media file you have downloaded with other users, helping with their downloads. Many private trackers also require maintenance of a ‘ratio’. This ratio is calculating by the amount seeded over the amount downloaded, and must be maintained above a limit to ensure you are contributing to a tracker community. Check out implemeting Autobrr into YAMS to further help your seeding!
