Independent application with evidence.
Module: Download Clients & Indexers
Activity type: Homework / independent application
Objective: Explain how an ARR application assigns a download category when submitting a job to a download client.
Design a path matrix for Sonarr, Radarr, one torrent client, and one Usenet client. Include each application's visible download and library paths.
Mark which paths refer to the same underlying host storage and identify any namespace mismatch.
Choose categories for television and movies, and document exact spelling and case.
State whether remote path mappings are needed. Justify every proposed mapping using a remote prefix and a local prefix.
Describe how your design supports torrent seeding without duplicating file data.
Write a six-step troubleshooting checklist beginning with category verification and ending with application log review.
Do not modify any path outside /opt/lab-classroom/class50/ while testing homework examples.
