How to prioritise downloads

Is it possible to have Sonarr tell Sabnzbd to set an episode to High priority? As in if I am downloading a 3 or 4 different tv shows but I wan’t 1 to download first can I have Sonarr tell Sabnzbd to download that episode in high priority?

At the moment, sonarr can’t. Nothing prevents you from opening sabnzbd and manually change that particular episode to high or even force priority ofcourse :smile:

There’s a github issue/request which asks exactly what you want though:

Yeah thats how I have been handling it for now but alot of episodes download overnight while I sleep so if it’s downloading a whole new show and queues up a lot of downloads I’d like to have my regular shows be ready first. It’s not a huge deal just a nice feature to have. Hopefully the github request gets put in :slight_smile:

there is something you can do so that newly aired episodes are higher priority than older episodes

in sonarr, go into the sabnzbd config, and modify “recent” and “older” priority, making recent HIGH for example
