About a few weeks ago I noticed that someone has been posting exe and zipx as normal shows in nyaa. For example Slow horses and Reacher. They post it a day before the release date so Sonarr picks it up.

    Using the arrs on (what I assume is) a public tracker takes bigger balls than I have. Or maybe I’m just too dumb lol. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve tried to knuckle down and dive into the the trash guides to really understand how quality profiles work. I still don’t get it.

      You don’t really need to mess with the quality profiles, the defaults are fine.

      All they do is filter the resolution/bitrate. You set a download to look for HDTV-1080p and it’ll look for something up to or including that resolution.

      Each quality profile also has a size picker with min/preferred/max setpoints, like 3.5GiB/h, so a one-hour video would be 3.5GiB. This is to filter something labeled as 1080p, but if it’s an hour long and only 20 MB it’s almost certainly a fake, which you want it to skip.
