Quick question, sorry if this has already been answered. Is there a way for Sonarr to compare the previous file size to the new one it is downloading, and reject the new file if it is smaller? Since torrents have been added Sonarr has “upgraded” some of my files to 1080p web-dl which were a 1/3 of the size of the 720p web-dl that I had before. On one of them I attempted to blacklist the file but it kept throwing the torrent back into the client. The other I didn’t catch and it downloaded a 400 MB file to replace a file that was around 1.5GB, luckily a real 1080p file had shown up on usenet and I told it to manually grab that file.
Explicitly no, but using the size settings in Quality settings you can set a minimum size (and a max).
The size is calculated as MB per minute, with examples for 30 & 60 minutes in the UI.
Alright, that will be one thing I miss from Sickbeard then. Sickbeard would not replace a file with a lower file size unless told to force over-ride. Thanks for the quick reply, the file size settings may work, I left them all as default when setting it up since they looked about right. I will have to look and see the average size of some of the shorter 11 minute shows are and see how high I can set it with out having it exclude those. Otherwise I suppose I can make the torrent delay 24 hours so I can try to catch them before it does it.
Edit: Just saw you mentioned a minimum, and saw I didn’t set them in the settings this might work. Thanks again.
Edit 2: I will have to go the delay route or turn off torrents as an alternate indexer. The minimum file size does not work when you have shows that are shorter than 30 minutes. Their file sizes are too small to include them in searching when filtering out the files that are much to small to be the proper file type.
