Beginner Help with kicking off Downloads and torrents that stall?

Hi, new to Sonarr and have been trying to get into the Wiki pages because I think my questions would be answered there, but they don’t seem to be working… so…

Two questions

When a bunch of episodes are loaded into the Wanted section, is there a task that kicks off to start downloading them? A few episodes popped into the Download queue but then I seem to be stationary unless I manually select them and search for them. If that’s the way it’s supposed to work, i’m fine with that. I was under the impression it would go through the Wanted list and download them automatically.

Second, when a torrent is in the process of being downloaded and stalls, is there a task to clear it out and try another one? Or better yet, can it find the torrent with the most seeders? But when it does stall, do I need to manually clear it out and start the download over again.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me out. This is a great tool and will be donating very shortly!

  1. Is covered in the FAQ
  2. Stalled torrents are not automatically processed you will need to blacklist them from Sonarr to remove them and look for a different torrent. Sonarr requires at least one seeder to grab it though.
