Unknown seeders prioritized resulting in dead torrents downloaded

[YetAnotherUsername]

Sonarr version (exact version): 2.0.0.5301
Mono version (if Sonarr is not running on Windows): 5.18.0.240
Description of issue: When searching for a torrent, I have the minimum seeds set to 10. The issue is then, when a torrent cannot resolve the amount of seeders/leechers, it ignores this value and just downloads the torrent anyway. Then, when there exists no torrents with these 10 seeders, it chooses to download a dead torrent instead, where I would rather it did not download anything at all, then I could resolve the issue manually.

It currently does not look like there is an option to change this behavior. I understand it makes sense, if a torrent is new and the peers are yet to be updated for that torrent. The problem is, the tracker I am using (Anime Tosho) does not display any seeders/leechers on their website when it can’t resolve them, resulting in all dead torrents being prioritized by Sonarr. This can even happen if there exists torrents with more than 10 seeders.

it ignores this value and just downloads the torrent anyway.

No, it uses the number of seeders reported by the indexer, if the indexer is reporting more than 10, but there are less then that’ll happen.

But in this case the indexer is reporting “Unknown seeders, unknown leechers”.

We’ll need to see some debug logs to diagnose this then. A screenshot of the manual search would be useful as well.

Here is an example. The logs doesn’t say anything about the amount of seeders unfortunately. If a torrent from Anime Tosho has any seeders, they are shown fine.

Quality wins and since unknown is not treated the same as zero seeders then it could prioritize a higher quality with unknown seeders over a lower quality with a known number of seeders.

Do you have an example of Sonar preferring unknown seeders over a release with a known number of seeders?
