I am sure I am just missing something simple... I have prowlarr -> sonarr/radarr -> qbittorrent -> jellyfin I created three directories. /jelly/video /sonarr /radarr. I configured sonarr and radar to use their respective directories. And I configured qbittorrent to use /jelly/video as the default download dir.

But what seems to be happening is that if I download a movie, it ends up in both /radarr and /jelly/video. And then if I delete it from /jelly/video it doesn't seed for others.

What am I missing here?

Radarr has the option to link the files when it imports them. Look in the settings

Use Hard links instead of Copy - Use Hard links when trying to copy files from torrents that are still being seeded

I've never managed to get it working. But I always have to do thing multiple times until it works.

Hardlinking works great for me 🤷‍♂️ but my Arr setup is on a paid hosting service so i imagine the virtual server was setup for that intently.
