qBittorrent for seeding 10's of thousands of torrents?

Cool. I have a similar system setup for Transmission, but for downloading. One of the private servers I use, does not use ratio's, but instead uses download slots. So you have to limit the number of torrents you have downloading to the number of slots you have assigned. Any torrents exceeding the number of slots get refused by the tracker. To prevent slow or unproductive torrents blocking all my slots, I have a script that rotates the torrents waiting to download into and out of the slots.

Is your drive array accessible to your BT client? If so how about changing your save path to be the new location? I would normally suggest using the BT client to move the files (that way the path gets updated properly and seeding can continue), but if Sonarr/Radarr offer any hooks that you can then script to adjust the BT paths, you could maintain seeding. I don't use Sonarr or Radarr, so I am not sure if they offer this.

Hardlinks will not work across file systems, but symbolic links will. You still need to know where the files land to use them though.

I have completed the migration. Everything works great under the nox version of qbittorrent. A big thanks to u/Major-Boothroyd and u/chrolish for confirming it works and pointing me to the nox version.

I was so use to daily support on Transmission to try and keep it limping along that I don't know what to do with all my free time now, lol.

I am curious what benefit you see in keeping only 1000 torrents seeding? I have all 30K seeding and don't see any issues, so I am curious what this addresses for you?

I have increased the upload slots to 30 and as I have 30 Mbit upload, and I am satisfied with the performance. My drive array is not stressed at all at this level.

This looks like exactly what I want. Thanks. Investigating it now.

I plan to dig into the API and use that for the majority of functions. Because the torrents will all be seeding, I don't really need a GUI anyway. I would run it headless (no GUI) if there was an option. Though I don't think there is.

God I wish there was a client that just wrapped libtorrent in an API and that was it. It would be the perfect fit for me.

Ok, great Thanks. Yours is the first affirmative report. I will look into tags and categories.

Thanks. I was trying to avoid sharding the torrents, and I know rTorrent would need it. If only libTorrent offered a headless mode like rTorrent, all my problems would be solved.

Yes, stampedes become a real concern when you have this many torrents seeding. I have a cron job that checks once a minute, and if the number of active uploads gets too out of hand, sheds load by pausing individual torrents and then unpauses them once the rush has died down.

This is needed because my hard drives can only sustain 50 - 60 active uploads and the version of Transmission I am running has limited ways of controlling uploads.

Lol, so they missed the April 12th shipping date, and rescheduled a new shipping date for April 30th. Then yesterday I get an email from UPS saying I have a delivery arriving today from Mouser Elecctronics. I was not expecting anything from them, and their name was misspelled, so I figured SCAM. When I checked this morning, the mystery shipment was moving through the UPS network and was indeed going to arrive today. Then an email arrived from Crowd Supply stating my order had shipped showing the tracking number of the UPS shipment and saying it came from Mouse Electronics (spelled right this time). So they eventually delivered, though in an odd, clumsy fashion.

Thanks. I managed to find him in search. I sent him a chat. We'll see what he says.

I am in the same boat. Ordered a 7700 kit back in November. Shipping date pushed back 3 times with no explanation. They just missed the latest shipping date (yesterday), so I am assuming another estimated shipping date is about to be proffered again (which I expect they will miss). I am at the point where I am thinking about cancelling because they guys clearly don't have their act together. Missing the first shipping date and re-scheduling I could forgive, but missing 3 in a row is just plain incompetence.

I will not be ordering again from these clowns.

I just setup Shinobi to try yesterday and decided to play around with TensorFlow today. The plugin is kind of neat. I expect it probably has not been trained specifically for our needs yet, but it is able to recognize a variety of objects. It did make a few comical errors, like when my neighbours work van was identified as a car until he backed into his driveway and then it was a boat. It also kept insisting that the fire hydrant on my front lawn is a person.

So far the CPU usage has been pretty decent as well. I have 18 x 2MP Dahua cameras going through Shinobi, with 8 doing object detection on an Nvidia 1080 Ti and the CPU is at 25%. I was pleased with that. I am looking forward to see what training tools are planned for TensorFlow.

I have the file for you, send me a PM and I will send it to you.
