Blacklist not stopping PROPER being downloaded

Help & Support
1

I’ve got the following line in my blacklist:

Archer.2009.S03E02.El.Contador.PROPER.HDTV.XviD-FQM.avi

But the activity for Archer S03E02 still looks like this:

Failed    Archer.2009.S03E02.El.Contador.PROPER.HDTV.XviD-FQM.avi    SDTV    Today
Grabbed   Archer.2009.S03E02.El.Contador.PROPER.HDTV.XviD-FQM.avi    SDTV    Today

The Failed lines are from me removing it from the queue and blacklisting it.

Is this expected behaviour, or can I do something to stop it downloading the PROPER? (It’s only a DIRFIX so not really needed.)

Torrent or usenet?

Blacklist only applies to usenet. If it’s Usenet we need debug logs to see what Sonarr is seeing.

Sorry, forgot to mention I’m using torrents only. Guess that explains why it’s not working. There should probably be a note on the blacklist page that it only works for usenet.

Yeah, ultimately we want it to apply to torrents as well, just needs some extra work to avoid blacklisting a torrent due to an NZB with the same name being blacklisted.
