      How do the arrs protect you from untrusted uploaders though? Don’t they just automatically download torrents based on the names and number of seeders?

        Video quality is considered along with tags, which I don’t really understand myself. Torrents with the PROPER tag have highest priority, etc. It can get very granular. I never distrusted this system and find it better than going off uploader name.

          Sonarr only downloads media according to the the rules you give it. If you don’t give it any rules, it will just grab whatever immediately matches the quality profile (1080p, 2160p, etc)

          What you can do is follow the trash-guides. Those will give you an updated list of decent groups, and if you use them with notifiarr/recylarr, the profiles on sonarr/radarr will also auto-update along with changes in the guides
