 The information from Radarr will not be added to $_ENV as one might expect but should be included in the [$_SERVER variable](https://secure.php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.server.php). A sample script to use this information to convert a file can be found [here](https://gist.github.com/karbowiak/7fb38d346e368edc9d1a).

+#### Reverse Symlinking ####
+When using private trackers, it is imperitive to continue seeding. By using this script `on Download` and `on Upgrade` moves the media to your root movie folder as set in Radarr, and will create a symlink in the original download location so you can continue to seed.
+
+Symlinking is preferable over hardlinking in most cases as the root movie folder can be on a seperate drive or nfs mount, where hardlinks are impossible.
+```sh
+#!/bin/bash
+
+PERMPATH="$radarr_moviefile_path"
+LINKPATH="$radarr_moviefile_sourcepath"
+if [ -f "$LINKPATH" ];
+then
+        sleep 1
+else
+        exit 1

+ORIGFILESIZE=$(stat -c%s "$LINKPATH")
