If your torrent is packed in `.rar` files, you'll need to setup extraction. You can typically search your torrent client's name and "unpack" to find a solution. There are some other interesting solutions in this space, like [unpackerr](https://github.com/davidnewhall/unpackerr) and [rarfs](https://sourceforge.net/projects/rarfs/), but they're more complicated. One issue to look out for with packed torrents is that the video file will be copied or hard linked like normal, but it isn't needed since the `.rar` files are seeding. That means if you're using a *copy* setup, the torrent will be consuming double the space. And if you're using a hard link setup, your torrent folder will be a little messier because of the unneeded file. This can be mitigated w/ a [cleanup script](https://gist.github.com/fryfrog/94716e7e27ba38dff57c7631d9f58bed).
## Permissions on the destination
Don't forget to check permissions and ownership of the *destination*. It is easy to get fixated on the download's ownership and permissions and that is *usually* the cause of permissions related issues, but it *could* be the destination as well. Check that the destination folder(s) exist. Check that a destination *file* doesn't already exist or can't be deleted or moved to recycle bin. Check that ownership and permissions allow the downloaded file to be copied, hard linked or moved.

## Repeated episode downloads
There are a few causes of repeated downloads, but a recent one is related to the Indexer restriction in Release Profiles. Because the indexer *isn't* stored w/ the episode data, any preferred word scores are *zero* for episodes in your library, *but* during "RSS" and search, they'll be applied. This gets you into a loop where you download the items again and again because it looks like an upgrade, then isn't, then shows up again and looks like an upgrade, then isn't. Don't restrict your release profile to an indexer.
