2 Reverse symlink script for Connect
a10kiloham edited this page 2020-04-28 08:21:38 +01:00

Slightly updated from the Radarr version this works well if you wish to keep seeding torrents however archive them on a device across the network like a NAS. Copy this to a folder reachable in your Docker config if necessary (i.e., create a config/connect folder) name whatever you like and ensure you chmod 777 so no issues running. For those running with combined Torrent and Usenet downloaders it's helpful to create a 'torrent' tag for this script and also shows that are torrent eligible - this works for more obscure shows where you'd wan to minimize torrent use.
