- Automatically add cross-seed torrents in a paused state. _Note: cross-seed now allows for torrent injections directly to qBit, making this feature obsolete._
- Recheck paused torrents sorted by lowest size and resume if completed
- Remove orphaned files from your root directory that are not referenced by qBittorrent
- Tag any torrents that have no hardlinks and allow the option to cleanup to delete these torrents and contents based on maximum ratio and/or time-seeded
- Tag any torrents that have no hardlinks and allow the option to cleanup to delete these torrents and contents based on maximum ratio and/or time-seeded
- RecycleBin function to move files into a RecycleBin folder instead of deleting the data directly when deleting a torrent
- Built-in scheduler to run the script every x minutes. (Can use --run command to run without the scheduler)
- Webhook notifications with Notifiarr and Apprise API integration.
Sonarr, Radarr, and Lidarr get access to everything because the download folder(s) and media folder will need to look like and be one mount, on the file system. Hard links will work properly and any moves will be atomic, rather than copying and deleting.

Windows is less flexible than some other operating systems in respect of support for hardlinks and instant (Atomic) moves. In most cases, you need to use a single disk containing both your download location and media library. However, there is an option detailed below that will allow you to make use of hardlinks and instant (Atomic) moves if you run a two-disk setup.

## Recommendation
If you want to make extensive use of hardlinks, we would recommend switching to another operating system. For more information and suggestions on this topic, join our Discord support channel. The link can be found at the bottom of every guide page.

### Alternative recommendation
If moving away from using Windows with multiple disks is not an option, we suggest ignoring hardlinks and instant (Atomic) moves and using [StableBit DrivePool](https://stablebit.com/){:target="\_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"}. This will allow you to pool multiple disks to appear as one big disk, making it much easier to maintain and set up your file and folder structure.

!!! Warning "The `-Q` or `--quick` option only reads each file once, hashes it, and performs comparisons based solely on the hashes. There is a small but significant risk of a hash collision which is the purpose of the failsafe byte-for-byte comparison that this option explicitly bypasses. Do not use it on ANY data set for which any amount of data loss is unacceptable. You have been warned!"
