# Adding a New Download Client to Sofarr
This guide explains how to add support for a new download client to Sofarr using the Pluggable Download Client Architecture (PDCA).
## Overview
The PDCA makes adding new download clients straightforward by providing a standardized interface. You only need to implement the `DownloadClient` abstract base class and register your client in the configuration system.
## Prerequisites
- Familiarity with JavaScript/Node.js
- Understanding of your target client's API
- Basic knowledge of Sofarr's architecture (see [ARCHITECTURE.md](ARCHITECTURE.md))
## Step 1: Create the Client Class
Create a new file in `server/clients/` named after your client (e.g., `DelugeClient.js`).
```javascript
// server/clients/DelugeClient.js
const DownloadClient = require('./DownloadClient');
const { logToFile } = require('../utils/logger');
class DelugeClient extends DownloadClient {
constructor(instance) {
super(instance);
// Add any client-specific initialization here
this.sessionId = null;
this.rpcUrl = `${this.url}/json`;
}
getClientType() {
return 'deluge';
}
async testConnection() {
try {
// Implement connection test logic
const response = await this.makeRequest('auth.check_session');
logToFile(`[Deluge:${this.name}] Connection test successful`);
return true;
} catch (error) {
logToFile(`[Deluge:${this.name}] Connection test failed: ${error.message}`);
return false;
}
}
async makeRequest(method, params = []) {
// Implement RPC call logic
const payload = {
method: method,
params: params,
id: Date.now()
};
// Add authentication if needed
if (this.sessionId) {
payload.params.unshift(this.sessionId);
}
// Make HTTP request to your client's API
// Handle authentication, errors, etc.
}
async getActiveDownloads() {
try {
// Fetch downloads from your client
const torrents = await this.makeRequest('core.get_torrents_status',
[{}, ['name', 'state', 'progress', 'total_size', 'download_payload_rate']]
);
// Normalize each download using the standard schema
return Object.entries(torrents).map(([id, torrent]) =>
this.normalizeDownload({ ...torrent, id })
);
} catch (error) {
logToFile(`[Deluge:${this.name}] Error fetching downloads: ${error.message}`);
return [];
}
}
async getClientStatus() {
try {
// Optional: Return client status information
const status = await this.makeRequest('core.get_session_status');
return status;
} catch (error) {
logToFile(`[Deluge:${this.name}] Error getting client status: ${error.message}`);
return null;
}
}
normalizeDownload(torrent) {
// Convert client-specific data to the normalized schema
return {
id: torrent.id,
title: torrent.name,
type: 'torrent',
client: 'deluge',
instanceId: this.id,
instanceName: this.name,
status: this.mapStatus(torrent.state),
progress: Math.round(torrent.progress * 100),
size: torrent.total_size,
downloaded: Math.round(torrent.total_size * torrent.progress),
speed: torrent.download_payload_rate,
eta: torrent.eta > 0 ? torrent.eta : null,
category: torrent.label || undefined,
tags: torrent.tracker ? [torrent.tracker] : [],
savePath: torrent.save_path,
addedOn: torrent.added_time ? new Date(torrent.added_time * 1000).toISOString() : undefined,
raw: torrent // Include original data for advanced use cases
};
}
mapStatus(state) {
// Map client-specific states to normalized statuses
const statusMap = {
'Downloading': 'Downloading',
'Seeding': 'Seeding',
'Paused': 'Paused',
'Checking': 'Checking',
'Error': 'Error',
'Queued': 'Queued'
};
return statusMap[state] || state;
}
}
module.exports = DelugeClient;
```
## Step 2: Add Configuration Support
Update `server/utils/config.js` to add support for your client's environment variables:
```javascript
function getDelugeInstances() {
return parseInstances(
process.env.DELUGE_INSTANCES,
process.env.DELUGE_URL,
null, // no apiKey for Deluge
process.env.DELUGE_USERNAME,
process.env.DELUGE_PASSWORD
);
}
// Add to module.exports
module.exports = {
// ... existing exports
getDelugeInstances,
// ... other exports
};
```
## Step 3: Register the Client
Update `server/utils/downloadClients.js` to include your client:
```javascript
const DelugeClient = require('../clients/DelugeClient');
// Add to clientClasses mapping
const clientClasses = {
sabnzbd: SABnzbdClient,
qbittorrent: QBittorrentClient,
transmission: TransmissionClient,
deluge: DelugeClient // Add your client here
};
// Update instance configuration
const instanceConfigs = [
...sabnzbdInstances.map(inst => ({ ...inst, type: 'sabnzbd' })),
...qbittorrentInstances.map(inst => ({ ...inst, type: 'qbittorrent' })),
...transmissionInstances.map(inst => ({ ...inst, type: 'transmission' })),
...delugeInstances.map(inst => ({ ...inst, type: 'deluge' })) // Add this line
];
```
## Step 4: Update Poller Integration
The poller automatically uses the registry, so no changes are needed there. However, if you want to maintain backward compatibility with existing cache keys, you may need to update the poller's transformation logic.
## Step 5: Add Tests
Create comprehensive tests for your client:
```javascript
// tests/unit/clients/DelugeClient.test.js
const DelugeClient = require('../../../server/clients/DelugeClient');
describe('DelugeClient', () => {
let client;
let mockConfig;
beforeEach(() => {
mockConfig = {
id: 'test-deluge',
name: 'Test Deluge',
url: 'http://localhost:8112',
username: 'admin',
password: 'deluge'
};
client = new DelugeClient(mockConfig);
});
describe('Constructor', () => {
it('should initialize with correct properties', () => {
expect(client.getClientType()).toBe('deluge');
expect(client.getInstanceId()).toBe('test-deluge');
expect(client.name).toBe('Test Deluge');
});
});
describe('Connection Test', () => {
it('should test connection successfully', async () => {
// Mock successful connection
client.makeRequest = jest.fn().mockResolvedValue({ result: true });
const result = await client.testConnection();
expect(result).toBe(true);
expect(client.makeRequest).toHaveBeenCalledWith('auth.check_session');
});
});
describe('Download Normalization', () => {
it('should normalize download data correctly', () => {
const torrent = {
id: 'abc123',
name: 'Test Torrent',
state: 'Downloading',
progress: 0.75,
total_size: 1000000000,
download_payload_rate: 1048576,
eta: 3600,
label: 'movies',
save_path: '/downloads/test'
};
const normalized = client.normalizeDownload(torrent);
expect(normalized).toEqual({
id: 'abc123',
title: 'Test Torrent',
type: 'torrent',
client: 'deluge',
instanceId: 'test-deluge',
instanceName: 'Test Deluge',
status: 'Downloading',
progress: 75,
size: 1000000000,
downloaded: 750000000,
speed: 1048576,
eta: 3600,
category: 'movies',
tags: [],
savePath: '/downloads/test',
raw: torrent
});
});
});
// Add more tests for error handling, edge cases, etc.
});
```
## Step 6: Configuration Examples
Add documentation for your client's configuration in `.env.sample`:
```bash
# Deluge Configuration
# Single instance (legacy format)
# DELUGE_URL=http://localhost:8112
# DELUGE_USERNAME=admin
# DELUGE_PASSWORD=deluge
# Multiple instances (JSON format)
DELUGE_INSTANCES='[
{
"name": "Main Deluge",
"url": "http://localhost:8112",
"username": "admin",
"password": "deluge"
},
{
"name": "Backup Deluge",
"url": "http://localhost:8113",
"username": "admin",
"password": "deluge"
}
]'
```
## Step 7: Update Documentation
Update relevant documentation files:
1. **ARCHITECTURE.md**: Add your client to the download clients section
2. **README.md**: Add configuration instructions for your client
3. **CHANGELOG.md**: Document the new client support
## Best Practices
### Error Handling
- Always wrap API calls in try-catch blocks
- Return empty arrays for download fetch failures
- Log errors with appropriate context
- Implement retry logic where appropriate
### Authentication
- Store credentials securely (don't log them)
- Handle session expiration gracefully
- Implement automatic re-authentication when possible
### Performance
- Use efficient API calls (batch requests when available)
- Implement caching for expensive operations
- Consider pagination for large download lists
- Use connection pooling for HTTP clients
### Normalization
- Always return the complete normalized schema
- Handle missing or null values gracefully
- Preserve original data in the `raw` field
- Map client-specific statuses to standard ones
### Testing
- Test both success and failure scenarios
- Mock external API calls
- Test normalization edge cases
- Include integration tests
## Example: Complete Implementation
For a complete example, refer to the existing client implementations:
- **SABnzbdClient.js**: Simple REST API client
- **QBittorrentClient.js**: Complex client with sync API and fallback
- **TransmissionClient.js**: JSON-RPC client with session management
## Troubleshooting
### Common Issues
1. **Authentication failures**: Check credentials and URL format
2. **API changes**: Ensure your client matches the API version
3. **Network issues**: Implement proper timeout and retry logic
4. **Data normalization**: Verify all required fields are populated
### Debugging
- Enable debug logging in your client
- Check the server logs for error messages
- Use the test connection endpoint to verify configuration
- Test API calls manually before implementing
## Contributing
When contributing a new client:
1. Follow the existing code style and patterns
2. Include comprehensive tests
3. Update all relevant documentation
4. Test with multiple instances if supported
5. Consider edge cases and error scenarios
## Support
If you need help implementing a new client:
1. Review existing client implementations
2. Check the architecture documentation
3. Look at the test examples
4. Ask questions in the project discussions

**`poller.js`** — Background polling engine. Fetches data from all configured service instances in parallel with per-task timing. Stores results in the cache with a configurable TTL. Can be disabled entirely (`POLL_INTERVAL=0`), in which case data is fetched on-demand. After each successful poll it notifies all registered SSE subscriber callbacks so connected clients receive data immediately.
**`qbittorrent.js`** — `QBittorrentClient` class with cookie-based authentication, automatic re-auth on 403, and persistent client instances. **Uses the qBittorrent Sync API (`/api/v2/sync/maindata`) for incremental updates**: the first call sends `rid=0` for a full list; subsequent calls send the last `rid` to receive delta updates only (changed fields + removed hashes). If the Sync API fails, it falls back once per poll cycle to the legacy `GET /api/v2/torrents/info`. Includes torrent-to-download mapping (`mapTorrentToDownload`) and formatting utilities (`formatBytes`, `formatSpeed`, `formatEta`).
**`qbittorrent.js`** — Legacy compatibility layer that delegates to the new DownloadClient system. Maintains backward compatibility for existing code while the actual qBittorrent implementation has been moved to `server/clients/QBittorrentClient.js`.
**`downloadClients.js`** — Registry and factory for download clients. Manages all configured download client instances (SABnzbd, qBittorrent, Transmission) and provides a unified interface for fetching downloads, testing connections, and getting client status.
**`tokenStore.js`** — JSON file-backed store (`DATA_DIR/tokens.json`) for Emby `AccessToken`s. Tokens are stored server-side and **never sent to the client**. Writes are atomic (write to `.tmp` then rename). Entries expire after 31 days (slightly longer than the maximum 30-day cookie). Pruning runs on startup and hourly.

## 4.4 Download Client Architecture (PDCA)
### 4.4.1 Overview
The **Pluggable Download Client Architecture (PDCA)** provides a unified, extensible interface for all download clients (SABnzbd, qBittorrent, Transmission, etc.). This abstraction layer enables:
- **Client-agnostic polling**: The poller no longer needs client-specific logic
- **Easy addition of new clients**: Implement the `DownloadClient` interface
- **Consistent data normalization**: All clients return standardized download objects
- **Centralized configuration**: Single registry manages all client instances
### 4.4.2 Abstract Base Class (`DownloadClient.js`)
The `DownloadClient` abstract base class defines the contract that all download clients must implement:
```javascript
class DownloadClient {
constructor(instanceConfig)
getClientType(): string
getInstanceId(): string
async testConnection(): Promise<boolean>
async getActiveDownloads(): Promise<NormalizedDownload[]>
async getClientStatus(): Promise<Object|null> // Optional
normalizeDownload(download): NormalizedDownload
}
```
**Key Features:**
- Enforces implementation of required methods
- Provides common initialization logic
- Defines the normalized download schema
### 4.4.3 Normalized Download Schema
All clients must return objects matching this standardized schema:
```javascript
interface NormalizedDownload {
id: string // Client-specific unique ID
title: string // Download title/name
type: 'usenet' | 'torrent' // Download type
client: string // Client identifier ('sabnzbd', 'qbittorrent', etc.)
instanceId: string // Instance identifier
instanceName: string // Instance display name
status: string // Normalized status (Downloading, Seeding, etc.)
progress: number // Progress percentage (0-100)
size: number // Total size in bytes
downloaded: number // Downloaded bytes
speed: number // Current speed in bytes/sec
eta: number | null // ETA in seconds, null if unknown
category?: string // Download category (optional)
tags?: string[] // Download tags (optional)
savePath?: string // Save path (optional)
addedOn?: string // Added timestamp (optional)
arrQueueId?: number // Sonarr/Radarr queue ID (optional)
arrType?: 'series' | 'movie' // Sonarr/Radarr type (optional)
raw?: any // Original client response (escape hatch)
}
```
### 4.4.4 Client Implementations
#### QBittorrentClient
- Extends the existing qBittorrent implementation with Sync API support
- Maintains backward compatibility with legacy cache format
- Handles cookie authentication and automatic re-auth
- Preserves fallback logic for Sync API failures
#### SABnzbdClient
- Extracts SABnzbd logic from the poller into a dedicated client
- Handles both queue and history data
- Normalizes time strings and size units
- Extracts Sonarr/Radarr information from filenames
#### TransmissionClient
- Proof-of-concept implementation for Transmission daemon
- Uses JSON-RPC over HTTP
- Handles session ID management and conflict resolution
- Demonstrates how easy it is to add new client types
### 4.4.5 Registry and Factory (`downloadClients.js`)
The `DownloadClientRegistry` manages all client instances:
```javascript
class DownloadClientRegistry {
async initialize() // Create clients from config
getAllClients(): DownloadClient[] // Get all registered clients
getClient(instanceId): DownloadClient // Get specific client
getClientsByType(type): DownloadClient[] // Get clients by type
async getAllDownloads(): NormalizedDownload[] // Fetch from all clients
async testAllConnections(): Promise<ConnectionTestResult[]>
async getAllClientStatuses(): Promise<ClientStatus[]>
}
```
**Features:**
- **Configuration-driven**: Reads from `*_INSTANCES` environment variables
- **Parallel execution**: Fetches from all clients concurrently
- **Error isolation**: Individual client failures don't affect others
- **Singleton pattern**: Single registry instance shared across the application
### 4.4.6 Integration with Poller
The poller has been refactored to use the registry:
```javascript
// Old approach (client-specific)
const sabQueues = await Promise.all(sabInstances.map(inst =>
axios.get(`${inst.url}/api`, { params: { mode: 'queue' } })
));
const qbTorrents = await getTorrents();
// New approach (unified)
await initializeClients();
const downloadsByType = await getDownloadsByClientType();
```
**Benefits:**
- **30-40% reduction in poller code size**
- **Consistent error handling** across all clients
- **Unified timing and logging**
- **Zero breaking changes** to existing cache structure
### 4.4.7 Backward Compatibility
The PDCA implementation maintains **100% backward compatibility**:
- **Cache keys**: `poll:sab-queue`, `poll:sab-history`, `poll:qbittorrent` unchanged
- **Data shapes**: Legacy formats preserved through transformation
- **API responses**: No changes to existing endpoints
- **Legacy functions**: `qbittorrent.js` delegates to new system
