Good find, thanks! Kind of annoyed I can’t set those values in Prowlarr to automatically propagate to all the *arrs, but still good to have the option once Prowlarr indexers are sync’d to other apps.
Comment on Someone on Torrent Sites Kept Fucking With My Sonarr

I was also flabbergasted when I observed this. No idea why this is not default, but you can configure “Fail downloads” = “Executables”, “Potentially dangerous” in the Indexer options to prevent these downloads. Enable advanced settings first.

I think this isnt a thing with prowlarr, is it?

It is, I’ve seen it. People upload .exe files pretending to be an episode day before it’s release. Prowlarr will find those and start downloading.

Also frustrating that sonarr won’t allow you to NOT auto search for an episode before it’s released. It auto downloads WAY more garbage than early releases in my experience. In fact I’m not sure I’ve seen it actually download something successfully before it’s official release.
But searches online show sonarr devs pushing back against it for some unknown reason.

I believe the v5 sonarr beta has this feature. So it’ll be on the main branch soon enough.

The indexer option is a thing in prowlarr?
If so, I havent seen it.ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 12 hours ago
Oh, sorry, I misunderstood. I haven’t check if that option is in prowlarr yet.

I use Prowlarr, but had to configure it in Sonarr. I don’t see any option for it in Prowlarr

I actually saw this last night while I was looking for another setting. Why would I ever want sonarr to download an executable, and why would they think I’d want it that way by default? It made me wonder if I was missing something.
