    I don’t know why you are annoyed by this.

    You use an automatic tool. It’s bound to fail or make a mistake once in a while.

    The “uploader” likely knew this, so they had some fun. It’s not like what you are doing is legal or anything. “Le me go complain on my blog about someone messing with how I do my illegal activites”.

      This seems like a one off for them, but for me whenever tracking ongoing TV series I would regularly get malicious files as they appear before the real ones, and get found and downloaded by sonarr.

      These days I only automate from private trackers, and enable a public tracker for an interactive search only if something can’t be found on the private trackers.

      As annoying as this is, I agree. It’s a case of automate better or add a confirmation layer to the download decision.

      The reason I don’t auto-DL anything yet is cos I’m too lazy to spend hours making sure it’s setup correctly.
