I’m attempting to set up an automatic downloading system with torrents using Prowlarr, Sonarr, Radarr, and Requesterr with Qbittorrent as my download client for torrents and Plex as my media server. I’ve installed everything on a new minipc I purchased for the occasion and am running windows on this. I’m running into an issue where whatever I request through requestrr is grabbing torrents with 0 seeders so I’m not actually downloading anything. this is happening with both movies and TV shows (I’ve tried over 10 different titles and all have 0 seeders). I feel like this may be a problem with my indexers? I’ve gone to the settings and set them to have a minimum of 3 seeders to download, but it seems to be ignoring this. I’ve included some screenshots below which support this. I didn’t see anytthing about this on the TRaSH-Guides website and I’ve basically followed all the advice there for setting up my system except for creating quality profiles on sonarr and radarr. I feel like I’m so close to having this amazing setup, I just can’t quite cross the finish line. Does anyone else have this issue?

I don’t know what tracker to use or how to get into a private tracker, but I’d like to. Is this an issue with port forwarding? I’m unfamiliar with this, but I heard it mentioned elsewhere. Please help
