Sonarr downloading .exe (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

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.

Unless they've recently implemented it, that doesn't match on file extensions. Use the minimum file size instead.

    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.
