Ahoi! Lately my Sonarr has been downloading .exe files from Lime and EZTV a lot. Someone deliberately pushes them just befor an episode airs and Sonarr happily grabs them. They don’t exexute, but still mess up my auto downloads.
Is there a way to prevent Sonarr from downloading them all together? Or at the very least re-download a proper release after noticing the exe file?
I also have private trackers as backup, but prefer public where I can contribute more by seeding to 1:100+ ratios.
You can also go into your torrent and nzb downloader’s settings and put extensions that you want ignored and then sonarr, radarr, etc can’t send those extensions to be downloaded. Just put *.exe and any other extensions to be ignored.
Good idea to prevent the download, but will probably still mess up the auto-download of the actual episode. I’d still rather not have the .exe and seed it
It will be a failed download. It wont even download bc the downloader wont download it seeing the extension in banned extension settings. And then radarr or sonarr will choose another option. Understandably a person would like sonarr and radarr to completely ignore those extensions.
