That part is fixed at least. Long story short, I made a mistake with API keys. The indexers are showing up in Radarr and Sonarr now, thank you again for that.
It showed up in qBittorrent, so the connections are good. Unfortunately, the download speeds are about 400 B/s despite the indexers. Any tips there would be nice.
Do you mean that the automatically grabbed torrent is slow in qBittorrent? The apps themselves don't have any idea what is a popular or unpopular torrent, so it may have just grabbed an almost dead one.
You may want to check out TRaSH Guides for some good Custom formats and guides for the *arr apps.

I recommend finding some good release groups and setting them to be always preferred over others.
They are able to pull seed/leech info, but I've found that info to be inaccurate.
I made a few updates with new issues. I’d love some advice if you have any
Based on your previous posts I assume that you use Windows as your server OS. I am sadly unable to help you with OS-level issues on Windows. I am also unfamiliar with the quirks of the Synology OS.
You can check if your *arr-apps run as the same user as the permissions on the share (on the *arr-server). The folder and contained files of the share on the Synology NAS should have read, write and execute (rwx) permissions for the user of the share.
Gotcha, thank you for your help. In case anyone else is curious...after some testing, I think the problem is Synology shutting down all connections when too many things (downloading + scanning/tagging + moving to Jellyfin) are happening at once
Are you running Jellyfin on the NAS as well as the arrr stack?
Also which Synology NAS do you have exactly and as someone else asked, what client / box are you using to access it with?
I've got a couple of Synology boxes and only run Radarr/Sonarr/Transmission on them and that's it - Jellyfin is on another SFF PC and I've also been thinking of taking Transmission out of the Syn boxes since it nails them on large & multiple downloads.
My VPN is a mullvad exit node via TailScale which isn't supported by Synology unfortunately. So Jellyfin on the NAS, and arr + qBittorrent on my windows computer. The problem was in having the mid-download folder on the NAS, causing so many small writes to the NAS that it would shut down the connection. I moved the download folder to a spare HDD on my PC and havent had issues with the setup since. From what I've gathered though, this is a really inefficient setup
Maybe try it the other way like I've done?
Put the arrr stack + qbit on your Syn drive, mount the shares via NFS, and then use Jellyfin on your Windows PC?
edit: or, like you're saying you're wanting qbit behind your Mullvad put that on your Windows PC and tell Sonarr/Radarr that's where the Download Client is
Is there a benefit to having the arrs on the NAS if it's still going to have to communicate and download through the other machine anyway?
That's what I've been curious about, but even still on a DSM 223 & 418 I've found them alright to an extent running Radarr/Sonarr/Transmission.
I did however run into problems trying to use them via Container Manager aka Docker on the DSM's.
Jellyfin thou is definitely best run on something that can transcode media and the DSM's are definitely not cut out for that, and if your Windows PC has an Intel processor will see you having less issues. Good luck you ;)
So I originally had the Jellyfin running on a Win10 with GPU transcoding, but now I'm running it on a DS923+ in a docker image, and it's had surprisingly far better performance. And thank you!
Just had a nosey, that DSM 923 (Vs 423) doesn't have a discreet GPU.
What rules are you putting on your downloads from the arrr's, and do you find some struggle to transcode w/ Jellyfin?
I've had to lower the rules since it got silly trying to transcode 80GB+ files over the puny specs of the DSMs > N100 SFF box I'm testing with, and use them solely for NAS / arrrrrs. I still need to invest a little more I think :/
I followed the trash guide for the 1080p profile for TV shows and 4k for movies, haven't had any transcode issues...yet. If I have any issues though, I'm fully prepared to buy more hardware for the DS923+
I appreciate the help!
