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.

    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.
