Sonarr always grabs oldest possible NZB instead of newest

Help & Support
1

Sonarr version (exact version):2.0.0.5228
OS: Windows 10
I’m adding some older series and setting them to search and download, however I don’t see how to tell Sonarr to grab the newest available NZB, it always grabs the oldest within the retention time frame.

I have it set to 1000 days since some of these are old but why would it skip the 13 day old nzb of same quality that will download much more rapidly and consistently?
Instead it starts at the oldest and then works its way forward as they fail.

This has been an annoyance for quite a while now but finally got frustrated enough to send out an SOS.

Thanks!

After 7 days Sonarr doesn’t really prefer the age, but there is also some weight on size, which could change the order.

If you do a manual search for an episode the results will be shown in the order Sonarr will try them (along with any rejections).
