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 must log in or # to comment.
Please forgive this long list. But in the downloads settings of qbittorrent and in the exclude file names I have this list. I never had issuea with exe files but used to get a lot of ISO files. Now I don’t have that problem. And no issues downloading my media.

*.tar.gzis redundant, it’ll fall under*.gzfirst.It’s a good list. You could put in a spoiler so it would be displayed collapsed by default.
I have cleanuparr, scanning qbit as well as a list. Not nearly as comprehensive as yours though.
Thank you for that tip. I did feel bad with that log ass list, but didn’ tknow how to shrink it.
I thiiiink Settings -> Profiles -> Release Profiles and find “Must not contain” and add offending file formats.
Unless they’ve recently implemented it, that doesn’t match on file extensions. Use the minimum file size instead.
Thanks! This should prevent most
Ahh! Thank you! I searched for this same question last week and didn’t find good answers. Some use extra programs via the API, and one mentioned what I did. Too bad, it’s sort of a no-brainer.
Guess I’ll have to try something else too.
I use cleanuparr.
This looks cool, I will consider using it. Has it been vetted to not cause issues? After reading about Huntarr I’m a bit sceptical, but also not in a position to understand the code myself.
Sonarr now has functionality to fail downloads with certain extensions. It will still download them but then it will mark as failed. It’s in the settings for each individual indexer, I think it’s just called Fail Downloads, make sure you show advanced settings.
Sweet, thanks. Added it there as well now.
Just fyi for it to work you can’t do the qbit extension block list. So pick which way you prefer. Also look at getting into private trackers which usually don’t have that issue.
Good to know, thanks.
I’m in a few private ones but prefer to seed publicly for current shows.
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.
Ah okay, currently it downloads the exe, recognises it as failed but does not automatically pick another release. I’ve blocked the file extension in qbit now and also added them in the Sonarr profiles as someone else recommended. Fingers crossed, I’ll know in a few days if it worked.
It should pick another release as long as you have the series/movie monitored. Yeah, please report back if it does.
