In an ideal setup, the torrent download folder and the library folder will be on the same file system and *look like it* (Docker and network shares make this easy to get wrong), which makes hard links possible and minimizes wasted space. + +In addition, you can configure your seed time/ratio goals in Sonarr or your download client, setup your download client to *pause* or *stop* when they're met and enable Remove under Completed and Failed Download Handler. That way, torrents that finish seeding will be removed from the download client by Sonarr. ### Why can't I add a new series? ###
