Help with an RR outside of sparkbox

Posted by cstaker

I have the RR sending to qbitorrent but it stops their I believe is has to do with gluten the downloads just are stuck at 0%. I am not sure where to go from here to fix it.

Good news: your external app is talking to qBittorrent fine — stuck at 0% almost always means the VPN tunnel underneath it, not your setup. Every download rides through the VPN with a kill switch, so when the tunnel drops, downloads freeze at 0% instead of leaking. Two steps, in order: 1) sudo sparkbox restart media — brings the VPN and download apps back up cleanly; that alone fixes most of these. 2) Still 0% after a few minutes? Open your dashboard VPN settings and switch to a different country or city, then restart media again — some VPN servers just go bad. If neither works, paste the last 20 lines of: sudo sparkbox logs sb-gluetun and I will dig in — and flag it with Tom if it is something deeper.
