These are the indexers I have added to Sonarr but, these series are not wanted.

I have generated new API keys for both indexers and looked for any RSS feed that may exist with shows added to them that Sonarr may be querying.

First, is Sonarr really getting episodes for unwanted series from the indexers? And if so, how do I get Sonarr to stop?

Thanks!

Sonarr parses your indexers RSS feeds which contain any release regardless of series. This is entirely expected behavior. It doesn’t mean it’s actually downloading them.
If you check the log further you’ll see it’s rejecting every one of those.

18-7-15 14:08:30.6|Debug|ParsingService|No matching series Star Falls
18-7-15 14:08:30.6|Debug|DownloadDecisionMaker|Release rejected for the following reasons: [Permanent] Unknown Series`

It’s far more efficient for Sonarr to watch the complete rss feed and cherry pick what it needs instead of querying the indexer for the individual series you have.

Also, this is covered in the FAQ.

Ah, so it is. My apologies I failed to see this in the FAQ. Thank you both for your quick response.
