@benjaminspowell: If you're downloading media for your home server, it's wise to be checking it for viruses before you start messing with it. This is a guide on how you can use #ClamAV to screen files that are downloaded with #Transmission into your #unraid server. This method will work for most services but process will change of course.

David :

skip torrents, use debrid

DanTheRollerman :

This is why I use Stremio with TorBox, streamed over vpn.

luna 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🇦🇺 :

😂 this isn’t needed at all.

zilvesta123 :

Dont use Torrents. Only use Usenet. Only use indexers with scene releases only.

KibbieKatt :

The nice thing about sonarr/radarr is that they just don't import files that aren't valid media files. So exes, .scr, .lnk, all just get deleted. There's an *arr app to automate it. It's equivalent to treating anything that's not a video file as a virus, which seems like a stricter policy than allowing some EXEs if they pass the scan.

Dr3am3scap3 :

theres and option in qbittorrent to exclude certain file types, thats a good option as well

qwerty :

media file types wont carry dangerous code, also but your Media Player (plex, jellyfin or whatever) on Linux and limit the permissions.. you will never need an antivirus with that setup

johnrlmcnabb :

make sure to use handbrake to optimize the file for the smallest size and the easiest amount of transcoding. future you and your storage limits will thank you.

Llama__farts :

how would we go about adding a layer of encryption so that ISPs don't flag you for totally not torrenting because torrenting is bad 👀

SlushyPie :

Your teaching has exponentially increased, nice work!

Arthur :

I am going to be real with you. Been “downloading” since the 90s. the number of real virus I have run into is 0. I get it. You want to be safe but this is basically pointless.

Cliff :

I don't use an *arr. I use FlexGet and it's easy to select which file types are allowed or blocked. Also, I don't use Windows. 😂

DrivingWhile :

I dub this “Jimmyhat” protocol?

asjed 🇵🇸 :

This is incredible media. Thank you

Leftist_Seven :

Cant download vid :(

n8daniels :

Are you using a VPN?

Bort LeBort :

I feel like scrubbing everything through FFMPEG to convert into clean original audio/video only would go a long way to drop any unexpected payloads.

MarkusDarkus :

FutureThe :

If you’re using a Linux system and have your folder ownership and permissions set correctly you don’t need antivirus..

Ur Mom :

If I were doing this, wouldn’t I be scanning all the directories regardless?

Greg :

Love clamAV, but unfortunately clamav is not as capacidade as comecial options, and comecial options are not as versatile as clamav.

aida☄☿ :

clamAV is weak

radiant.Rose🏳️‍⚧️ :

I will be adding this to my stack as soon as I get my server up & running again 😅 I'm moving to Pangolin as my service to access my home server away & am having trouble deploying it

GhostMokomo :

Makes defently sense... Also needed for Usenet?

UnabnormalDay :

Wha you would do, if 😉 were doing this
