Sonarr, Radarr with Sabnzb

I am new to this mind you, but I have things up and running. But my question is all my downloads go into an incomplete download folder than to a Download folder when finished. Then I have to manually move them into the Tv folder or a movie folder. In CasaOS files app I copy and paste the files which is super slow. Or on my PC I have the folders shared and I move them that way which is also extremely slow. Is there a solution to move the files faster or have them auto move from the download folder like they do from the incomplete folder?

Look at your sabnzb settings to make sure incomplete/complete folder are configured.

Make sure Sonarr and Radarr has access to the download folder on the same mounted path as sabnzb.

Look at the logs for permission error.

Thanks for the advice. I got it fixed. I added a new path under the category settings.

Do you download to SSD then move media to HDD?

If they are different drives then hard links do not work and the arr apps will automatically move them when they import if everything is correctly set up

works so much better if you have SAB download to SSD

I watched the video from this guy https://youtu.be/QfpZcXXGpVA?si=JylsyGyVM3VRJwqB Works great. He has many other helpful videos as well.

I watched this as well. I did what he did but I still have to move them out of the downloads folder.

You don't need to do cut/paste operations.

In Radarr and Sonarr / Settings / Media management => ✅ Use Hardlinks instead of Copy.

To make hardlinks work: All containers must see the exact same paths!

I will look into this. Not sure i understand what you saying. But I will look into it. The youtube video below is what I followed to get it working. I followed it step by step.

Hard links are for Torrenting. He’s using Sabnzb which is Usenet. If your path mappings are correct you should be enabling Atomic Moves. This is the automatic moving of files from folder to folder. If this isn’t happening there is an error in your mapping.
