I love Sonarr so much! Thank you so much for making it! It changed my family’s lives! For real!
I think this would be an awesome feature because people like me have issues with shows being downloaded via torrent even when it is available on usenet, even with the “prefer usenet” option selected and a long delay on torrents in the options. It would also help with the issue where indexers can’t be prioritized and people reaching their usenet indexer hit max for shows they don’t mind being torrented.
For example, I would set the TV show Silicon Valley to always use usenet, no matter what, because HBO shows always get people in trouble on torrent sites. I obviously don’t mind using one of my API “hits” for this.
Then there are shows that don’t even show up on usenet, which for those shows I would choose “download with torrents only” of course. Finally, I could tell shows that don’t really get TV studios in a tizzy to use torrents as well, freeing up my available usenet hits (again, this would be HUGE since we can’t prioritize indexers in Sonarr).
Anyway, I hope this makes sense. I think this would be an awesome feature!
