It’s very annoying that Sonarr is downloading individual episodes instead of entire seasons. Is there a way to prefer entire seasons instead of individual episodes?
Yes, I would actually prefer to downgrade quality from 1080p to 720p if a complete season was only available in 720p. Many individual episodes are such a chaos.
Some individual episodes have really low seed ratio and never completes. And another thing, is there a way to specify minimun seeders/peers?
Well i think sonarr is fantastic at doing its job if you are talking about current up-to-date shows and future episodes. It struggles if you try and download lets say all X-File seasons from the past.
At least for me.
The downside about downloading an entire season at once though is that if there’s missing blocks, all your eggs are in one basket and the download fails. At least with individual episodes some can fail without stopping the available ones from completing.
It seems like more people are seeding complete seasons than individual episodes, at least on old seasons or TV shows. Never had a problem with downloading a complete season, as long you choose one with enough peers.
