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.

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.

There's always a fee with usenet, right? Or are there free ones?

There is a fee but it is negligible, you just need to buy on sales. As for indexers just get a one or two life times and it will pay itself over time. I only have one subscription indexer, the rest are life time.

This is last year's black Friday sale: https://www.reddit.com/r/usenet/comments/1p3ajl6/_/

Never buy usenet full price

You can get it some usenet providers for as little as $30 year which is $2.5 a month, maybe ever cheaper.

Lots of them offer trials if you just want to try it
