It’s important to have seperate directories for unfinished torrent downloads and complete ones, and only have sonarr pick up from the completed one
Back when I used Torrents instead of Usenet for sonarr, I had only the one folder, since Plex would generally pick up the library changes automatically anyway. I’d assume that Jellyfin is similar, although I don’t use it enough to know for sure. These days I use only Usenet for sonarr/radarr since I’m paying for Usenet and it’s excellent for automation/new content, and SABnzbd provides both incomplete and complete folders by default anyway.

And it’s good to use hard links.

It basically creates a second pointer to the same inode which makes file moves instant. So instead of copying the data to a new location and deleting it from the old it points to the existing inode immediately. You can’t do it across filesystems though so that’s why trash guides recommends using
/data/media/tvand/data/torrentsinstead of the/tvand/downloadspaths the lsio setup suggests since docker treats top level folders as different file systems.It’s mostly useful for torrents in my experience when you need to reseed stuff but also don’t want to point Jellyfin/Plex to a live downloads directory for security reasons.
