Sonarr downloading .exe
2026-06-05 16:00 UTC
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.

Lime is the issue, I removed it for this exact reason. I mainly use usenet if I want torrents I will look for it manually. Usenet is way safer than torrents from my experience.

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.
