Deluge Forum

Using Deluge in a Raspberry B3+

When Sonarr adds a TV show download speeds are around 1 - 4Mb/s, but when Radarr adds a movie they are realy slow 10Kb/s or even stopped for days.

Both add the torrents from RARBG…

What can be the cause?

Do you have DHT / Peer Exchanged enabled? Is it every single movie? How big are the movies? I never had a problem with rarbg when I used them. Have you tried manually adding one? Are they downloading at the same time? Does one have a higher priority? How many seeds are there?

You asked an incredibly vague question...

I know it was a vague question but I didn't even know where to start looking.

- DHT / Peer Exchanged are enabled
- Every single movie and they are around 8Gbs
- I don't think is a RARBG thing because TV Shows downloaded from RARBG have 4MiB/s download speed.
- I have just tried adding manually a movie from Zooqle and speed is 4MiB/s
- Searched for the same movie in Radarr and slow download speed.

Attached screenshots of both downloads.
When having multiple TV Shows all have fast download speeds.

Can it be something about Radarr adding the torrent? Or maybe the size of the file that affects the Raspberry?

Are you really getting 4 Mbps with sonar? I'm getting max 500-600 Kbps on 13377x Torrent with sonar and radar. Instead of that, I've started using watchseries website to watch shows without downloading them first.

At last I can tell you it's not the RPI slowing the thing down but maybe a slow source or config issue. I guess you have a USB disk attached so except if it changed for the 3+ the USB and Ethernet port share the bus. Maybe the drive is NTFS formatted and this kill the RPI CPU following my experience.
So far I'm able with a RPI 3+ ext4 attached USB drive to download at 7MiB/s, more too but the upload is too much impacted. I limit the download to one file at a time which helps a lot for a RPI.
