Hey guys,
I've attached a screenshot to this post so you can see what I mean. I have added a bunch of movies to my list of items to download. I have categorized them all using the default "BEST" category which goes from high-end BR-RIP to DVD-R. That being said. There are a few movies in the list that have a green box around the quality but they aren't in my downloads. Is that basically acting as a place-holder until the movie is released/meets the requirements?
P.S. should I be installing CouchPotato as a service with NSSM? Like you would with SickRage

CouchPotato redesigned their interface recently, usually that green I would say means that the relevant torrent file has been snatched but if you don't see it in your queue it must mean something else.
Are you sure they are not in your queue? The ones with no green should just be the placeholder you speak of, waiting for a valid release.
I've removed the screenshot because we're not allowed to mention specific releases.

Are you sure it's configured properly? Have any items been sent from CouchPotato to your torrent client? btw this is a major reason to use Transmission, uTorrent has a buggy labels system so automation software has trouble sending to it reliably.
Add an new old item you know has been released and check the CouchPotato log files right afterwards to debug.

Fair enough. The only reason I use uTorrent is because I can enable a proxy in it with SOCKS5. That being said, I'm willing to use Transmission if I can be sure I can be as anonymous in it as I am in uTorrent.
uTorrent's labels are killing me! I'm trying to find a way to move items labelled "Television" to a certain folder for SickRage, and move items labelled "Movies" to a certain folder for CouchPotato. Sadly I cannot get this to work to save my life! Any advice on that?

There was a fix I read somewhere but I couldn't get it to work, I think it involved adding/enabling labels in the Web UI instead or something like that. It is a known bug and googling yields many results of users complaining for uTorrent devs to fix it.
I am planning a guide on forcing transmission traffic through a VPN only using Windows firewall rules but am pretty busy. If you manage to get it set up let me know and we can make a guide. Currently I just have PIA running with the kill switch activated so it's just as safe as a proxy is.

I find the couchpotato interface horribly confusing when it comes to this issue. I even had one case where a single movie ended up taking 200GB on my NAS cause CouchPotato kept moving the file to my NAS and moving the old copy to its recycle bin. I suspect the problem is something to do with Categories but since I can usually catch CP doing something stupid very quickly I've never bothered digging deeper to figure out exactly what it is derping over.
