Hi! In the last few months, the amount of fake torrents I’m getting automatically added to my downloads is starting to be really annoying. I want to find out which source is the culprit to remove it…How can I find what was the source of the added torrent? Where did it get it? What line do I need to look for in the logs? Or what event?
Not every download client supports blocking filetypes. Here’s how I solved it:
You can add cleanuperr to your *.arr stack. It will listen to your queues and if something gets stuck, like .arj files, it’ll remove them, blocklist them, and maybe re-search? I’m not sure.
You can also change your settings in sonarr to not do any rss sync searches with your public indexers. This stops sonarr from seaching those indexers automatically for the next release. I’ve notices most of that garbage pops up before the official release, then gets drowned out by the real stuff after the release. If you leave the auto/interactive search enabled, you can just click the auto search button for the episode the day after it comes out. You likely won’t pick up any garbage this way.
I wrote a script that spam reports these, and I run it when I’m feeling frustrated with a something, but nothing I’ve spam reported with the script has gotten taken down yet. So, that sucks too.
