Sonarr download smaller files

To save MB per episode? Yeah, MBs an episode can easily add up to enough space for a whole other show, or a few movies. I let Sonarr grab a season and it went for, what seems like, every, single gig per episode file it could find. I tried playing with the sliders but it was taking me too long to get them balanced so I just manually grabbed what I needed. Next you will need to choose the path where the TV show folders will be created.

Sonarr will begin to search all of the seasons using the indexers that you setup and send them to your download client using the API key. Once Sonarr is told that the files are done downloading, it will rename them according to your preferences and then place them in your TV Show folder.

It solves this as Taloth mentions above. Answers like this got me to my solution: I'm willing to download 's and 's But I would prefer the smaller files, not larger. And if I limit the quality definitions I just get cut off completelly if there are no results within the threshold. It should be a preferred size, not a red line that prevents the download from happening at all.

I might prefer a p video with relatively low size than a video with the same or bigger size. But because I cannot filter by size in the end I have to give up on p completelly if I want to avoid big p videos being preferred over p ones.

Currently I'm doing that with Radarr for movies but Sonarr does not have a way to do this for Radarr I'm using "custom formats" to do it, which would be sort of similar to Sonarr's "release profiles". Skip to content. Star 6. New issue. Jump to bottom. Labels priority:medium suboptimal up-for-grabs.
