Sonarr fetching files way over maximum size limit

Hi,

A release group recently posted all of S05 of The Sopranos on DogNZB in file sizes of 12-15GB a piece, Sonarr fetched E01 and E13 despite them being way over my maximum for a 60 minute 1080p Bluray of 7.6GB.

Weirdly, after deleting them from SAB, when I manually search for that episode again, it has a red exclamation mark on that release for being above the maximum allowed size, but it didn’t stop it from fetching it when it was new in the RSS feed. Although it did correctly not fetch episodes 02-12 presumably for being too large.

Any ideas on what’s happening here?

If it’s any help the release names on the files it did fetch were:
The Sopranos S05E01 Two Tonys GBR BluRay Remux 1080p AVC DTS-HD MA 5 1-SHeNTo (13.38GBGB)
The Sopranos S05E13 All Due Respect GBR BluRay Remux 1080p AVC DTS-HD MA 5 1 (13.65GB)

If I recall, season premiers and finales are allowed to be twice the normal size, as they are often double episodes without being named as such.

Ah…that definitely could explain things.
