I have some video files, stored locally, that I want to add to RD so that family can stream on Plex. I’ve created a torrent file for the videos and uploaded them along with the torrent file I created to both Google drive and Mega drive. I add the torrent to the magnet link in RD. It looks like it’s working but spins at 0% for days, and never gets cached. Anyone have any ideas as to what I’m doing wrong?

You have to actually add trackers to the torrent and seed it until RD caches it. It sounds to me like you’re just uploading the .torrent file to GDrive/Mega and pasting the link from that to RD?

If I’m mistaken, sorry, I can’t help ya. If not, here’s a guide to creating a torrent.
