must admit i havent re-installed cron yet and im not sure i want it to delete the files just remove the torrent from the list (looking through it i can see how to achieve the latter though)
for now ill stick to the manual way, was hoping there was some hidden setting for it all in transmission lol.
yeah dns redirect wont work here in the uk, though there is a popular torrent site that is in sickrage that does work, even though it perhaps shouldnt lol

From what I remember that --remove-and-delete only deletes the associated .torrent file not the contents of the torrent.
Hmm that's interesting, I wonder how they've done that, still a VPN like Private Internet Access should do the trick.

problems with vpn is that the net traffic goes through them, slowing it down, also worry about security of that, to top it off they charge for it lol

I did just have a wierdity though, with luck an isolated instance.
the mount of my hard drive failed, so plex could no longer access the media and nzbget was auto failing downloads, transmission was saying the files were read only (as it couldnt see them)
now this ment a few episodes in the last hour are now black listed or labled as dupes as far as nzbget is concerned, not an issue too much but should that happen with out me noticing for more then a few hours it could be a nightmere!
Lets assume it was issolated incident at mo but if it wasnt is there anything i can install that will check the drive is mounted every hour (dont want too frequently as i want to let what ever ubuntus default drive power saving mode to remain in place!) and if its not remount it?

VPNs are basically necessary in countries with censorship like the UK, unfortunately you need to pay to have an open and free internet - very sad but it's reality. PIA take bitcoin and only keep access logs (that you logged in with the VPN account) which is probably the best you can ask for today.
How did your hard drive fail mounting? Was it at boot or did it unmount itself? You can add a cronjob running mount -a every few minutes, not sure if this will unmount and remount existing /etc/fstab entries or just mount any entries that are currently unmounted. There may be a more proper way of doing this.
You have a had a lot of hard drive issues from what I remember, it may be time to upgrade the hard drive enclosure or something
Is Ubuntu making your hard drive sleep? The same hard drive that had issues in the past?

how do you uninstall sickrage?
i just had it switch all my "skipped" to "wanted", at which point it searched for all episodes of well...everything, credit to my setup many were found i have no idea how much space they all used up but i now have one royal mess, went to thier site to try and find solution to find it was hacked, googled the issue and saw a link to a github issue ...its 404 im guessing sickrage is an abandoned project so need to switch back to drone (even if its not abandoned its clearly not reliable) any ideas how to remove it safely?

ah didnt see this reply until i made the post above
I thought by default ubuntu makes the drive sleep when needed? if not im gonna need to make it so it does!
This is a new 2tb hard drive not the one that had issues, been going well the last couple of days now though so the auto mount may be a mute point, its connected via sata (with power)

Sickrage has issues from time to time, there is current drama with the development team splitting and stuff. To remove it this should do the trick:
Code:
service sickrage stop
update-rc.d sickrage disable
rm /etc/init.d/sickrage
systemctl disable sickrage.service
rm /etc/systemd/system/sickrage.service
SICKRAGEDIR=$(find / -type d -iname sickrage)
rm -R $SICKRAGEDIR
Ubuntu desktop has hdparm for spinning down drives by default, the server doesn't (I don't think). Here's the guide for spinning down drives.

cheers, much appreciated as always!
yeah issues..it downloaded 92gb of old already seen tv shows lol i was not a happy bunny to say the least lol. (hence the exile of sickrage from my pi, soon as i get the time)
another question, the files downloaded from transmission are owned by Debian-Transmission (or similier name) is there a way to have them owned by orangepi? (im sure when i set up transmission from the installer i told it to use orangepi ...but im only 50% sure lol...im getting old)
EDIT
on the hd spin down guide
Code:
sudo hdparm -y /dev/sda
sudo /usr/sbin/hdparm -y /dev/sda
the first one worked the second complained unknown command /usr/sbin/hdparm.... same for the others
and when i went to restart the service it said unknown service hdparm
the sudo hdparm -y /dev/sda however worked fine
anything to be worried about? or just safely ignore?

Happy to help as always
There is a way by editing the user transmission uses (on jessie it's in the systemd script), it is usually better to add the debian-transmission user to the orangepi group and download to folders owned by the orangepi group with permissions 775. The installer should have added the transmission user to the orangepi group.

ah ninja'd while editing my last post lol
i noticed the issue when i could not delete the folders the transmission had downloaded when in winscp as user "orangepi" so im guessing something has hicuped (i chowned them to orangepi)
hmmm how do i add the transmission user to the orangepi group and auto set the download permission (i went through the transmission options but there is very few of them)
