Im on debian linux. Ive been trying to add transmission to sonarr but it just says auth failed
qBittorrent?
qBitorrent is the way, although I never tried Deluge
Migrated from deluge, rTorrent, uTorrent and transmission to qBitorrent.
Deluge has problem when you have many torrents seeding or downloading.
rTorrent setup is not very easy.
uTorrent and Transmission are not recommended for not following the etiquette and bundling other software AFAIR.
qBittorrent tends to be the popular one but all the standard FOSS clients should work fine with Sonarr (e.g. qBittorrent, Deluge, Transmission).
I don’t have Transmission in front of me here to give you specific guidance but auth failed basically means you should double-check Transmission’s web ui user/password/port number & make sure it’s the same both there & in Sonarr. The same would apply for any other torrent client you want to set up in Sonarr.
Not the nost popular choice but I’m happy with Transmission. I figured out a a way to make my weird VPN subscription work with Haugene’s docker image years back and it’s working nicely for me.
When i add /home/mariah/shows to sonarr it does nothing
deluge / qbittorrent
I like deluge personally - qbittorrent is my fallback though.
The problem is sonarr is running as my user and transmission-daemon is root
I usually make a dedicated user for torrent clients. Works well. This allows me to run multiple instances of transmission in the vm, for example. Manage them through systemd services.
