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.

âšī¸ This guide is a simpler to follow and more user-friendly version of the Seeding With qBitManage guide, using a newer app: Qui, instead of qBitManage. The concepts are very similar, but Qui has a much more user-friendly interface and setup process. If you are a true power-user and are looking for the utmost flexibility and customisation, the qBitManage guide is recommended instead! In general, it is good practice to seed any torrents you download.
