  • Correct. Your manual added torrents only.

    But to be clear your downloads folder should ideally have subdirectories in it, or at least that’s what I have.

    *Completed Downloads", with subdirectories for movies, series, audio, books, blackhole_movies, blackhole_series, and any other category you have.

    In your download client you then make sure to set it up that all downloads get a category that then dumps the completed download into the corresponding folder.

    So when a movie gets added by radarr its assigned a category of movies in your download client, and when it finishes downloading it goes to the completed/movies folder. And similar if a series gets added by sonarr a category of series gets assigned and moved to the completed/series folder.

    Any torrent you add manually you would then assign either blackhole movies or series and your download client would then move it to that completed folder. Radarr would then see new files appear and try and import them as it regularly will now scan that blackhole folder.


  • What you are looking for is under Settings > Download Clients > Torrent Blackhole

    This helps create a “blackhole” folder that is now monitored for any completed files. Radar or Sonarr will then try and import these files if the naming matches anything in your library that’s missing.

    So in theory you can manually add torrents to your client which you can categorize in such a way that they move to this blackhole folder on completion.

    Obviously the folder or category can be called anything, but I just call them blackhole_movies, blackhole_series.

















  • I have been running PfSense on Proxmox for ages now.

    What I do is the following.

    1. Pass the NIC card through to PfSense.
    2. Your motherboards ethernet port is plugged into your network switch (think of proxmox as just another pc on your network)
    3. In PfSense your NIC can now be seen and all ports can be assigned as needed. Assign one as WAN and the others as LAN.

    Set your pfSense /OPNsense to start at boot when you power on proxmox.

    FYI, you might occasionally run into issues where the NIC “GUID” changes so your VM won’t be able to start.

    When this happens your pfSense/OPNsense VM won’t start so your network will be in a “down state”. This means DHCP won’t be working either, and any PC that were not assigned a static IP won’t be able to access the Proxmox GUI to quickly fix the issue.

    You might occasionally need to hook up a temporary router between a PC and your Proxmox host to access the web GUI as a result. At least this is what I do when my outrage is longer then a hour.
