I have my Sonarr set to prefer Usenet releases over Torrent. I also have it set to try to get better qualities to replace old SD versions I have.
This works well, except when a torrent group releases a better quality than I currently have; you can delay the download but it does not make an effort to search NZBs to see if the same quality is available without having to use torrents, as I’d prefer.
Is this a feature worth considering, or is it too much of a corner-case to be worthwhile?
If a better quality had become available it would have been in one of the Usenet RSS feeds. So searching is a bit pointless.
If you want to do a backlog search for better qualities, you can use the various search options for that.
You can also do mass searches. Run that once on your libary, and then you can set for RSS updates again.
I am talking about a situation where you want better qualities to be pulled gradually, but don’t want to manually search and have 1000 Gb added to the queue in one block.
In my case, I have to monitor the queue and manually search NZBs for any torrent files found, as groups re-release qualities for older shows.
As I say, may be a corner case.
Definitely too much of a corner case, you have a couple options here, don’t enable RSS for torrents or set a really long delay for torrents so you can manually handle this case.
