CouchPotato has an option where for automated searches it won’t use the torrent provider to send releases automatically and will instead use Usenet.
Can Sonarr implement that? I don’t want to search torrents unless I do a manual search as I’d prefer to source everything through usenet.
Amazing update recently btw, was reading the change log! A lot done.
I suspect this will be a common use-case and its already on Trello: https://trello.com/c/NnLSWfKk/847-option-to-disable-automatic-searches-for-indexers
Thanks for the support!
Torrents are a good option when for some odd reason something isn’t posted on usenet - so it will be a common scenario.
Does disasbling RSS sync prevent the automated searches happening with the provider? If I then can go into the show and do an auto/manual search and it flags the torrent that’ll work for me. I just don’t want drone sending loads of torrents to uTorrent when it has usenet.
Sonarr doesn’t search automatically on its own, unless its missed an RSS sync for more than 3 hours.
You could set your torrent delay to something abnormally long. That way if it finds it on usenet it will delete it. Currently I have mine set to 24 hours for the couple of shows that don’t show up on usenets and only show up on torrents.
When you do a manual search for a show it will still show up in your search lists and also still pull from shows on your RSS but just sit there until you manually download it or a usenet version of that show gets posted.
How do you set the delay? Can’t see it in the options - sounds like a good idea. Thanks
On the Profile settings page, its an advanced setting, so they will need to be shown.
Thanks Markus!
