Is there a way to limit the download of an episode

is there a way to limit the download of an episode? I got up and had 5 downloads of the same episode from different sources?

Sounds like something isn’t configured correctly, more details to point to exactly what the issue is are required, but here are a few cases that happen.

  • If they are different qualities, set the cutoff appropriately
  • If they are all the same quality then make sure Sonarr is importing after they finish
  • If you don’t want Sonarr to import, turn off Completed Download Handling
  • If Sonarr is importing properly, but it grabbed duplicates make sure the quality that was grabbed is the same as the quality that was imported, sometimes a poorly named release can cause a re-download to occur.

what details would you need ?

Version of Sonarr, logs, information from history to show what was grabbed (and imported). Check for any of the common cases first.

there is more but i think you can see it here

You’ll need to look at the log files, also post them to hastebin, but since these don’t show anything useful, the logs might not have anything to show.

DiskScanService Series' root folder (C:\Users\R\Downloads\Movie\TV Shows) doesn't exist. 4:38pm

Sonarr hasn’t imported anything to that series and likely any series, that would be the first thing to look at.
