Trying to understand "Stalled" Status (lemmy.ml)

So a file I was needing is showing as 9 seeds, 5 peers, but its stalled.

Why is that? And what does it mean for me other than I can't grab it. Is there something I can do on my end, or is it on the other side of things?

I've just cut the cord, so if these questions are basic, I apologize, I am just now learning a lot of this stuff

Are there any easy ways to auto purge stalled torrents (either after a certain amount of time, or if they’ve never seen a complete copy after some time?) I have most of the *arr suite and use qbittorrent. I recently installed qbit_manage, but I’m not sure how to use it yet.

You can write a python script to interact with Qbittorrent as it has an API. I wrote one to delete stalled torrents and another one to set them to the lowest priority (so they don't fill up the download queue). If anyone is interested im happy to share the code. Whichever one I chose just runs every 30 mins or so using windows task scheduler

I’d love to get a copy if you’d be willing to share it.

Sure, youll need to change the info at the top of the scripts for your qBitTorrent client:
