Honestly I never understood why the product was removed/put in storage in the first place?

Would it not have been substantially cheaper for businesses not to purchase any more stock instead?

People then could have choosen not to buy what's left on the shelfs. And governments would not have to pay storage fees using taxpayer funds.

Correct. Your manual added torrents only.

But to be clear your downloads folder should ideally have subdirectories in it, or at least that's what I have.

*Completed Downloads", with subdirectories for movies, series, audio, books, blackhole_movies, blackhole_series, and any other category you have.

In your download client you then make sure to set it up that all downloads get a category that then dumps the completed download into the corresponding folder.

So when a movie gets added by radarr its assigned a category of movies in your download client, and when it finishes downloading it goes to the completed/movies folder. And similar if a series gets added by sonarr a category of series gets assigned and moved to the completed/series folder.

Any torrent you add manually you would then assign either blackhole movies or series and your download client would then move it to that completed folder. Radarr would then see new files appear and try and import them as it regularly will now scan that blackhole folder.

What you are looking for is under Settings > Download Clients > Torrent Blackhole

This helps create a "blackhole" folder that is now monitored for any completed files. Radar or Sonarr will then try and import these files if the naming matches anything in your library that's missing.

So in theory you can manually add torrents to your client which you can categorize in such a way that they move to this blackhole folder on completion.

Obviously the folder or category can be called anything, but I just call them blackhole_movies, blackhole_series.
