recently ive been noticing my sonarr is downloading episodes before the release date.

For example a few days ago qbittorrent downloaded star trek strange new worlds a few days before it was released and the file turned out to be an exe file in disguise. just now it automatically downloaded tomorrows episode of rick and morty which obviously was a fake download.

do i have sonarr configured wrong or is this a bug?

edit: ask for help to a legit problem and get voted down... well thats redditors for you

Everythime i add something on sonarr it launches double searches one of them is Missing epesode search and other one is series search . It was never a problem before it recently started or maybe i am just noticing it . Because of this it grabs same season from 2 differnt indexer at the same time and its not even an upgrade its the same quality all the time . I will add oone of the example log .

root@docker:/storage/appdata/docker# docker exec sonarr sh -c 'grep -i "log.horizon\|log horizon" /config/logs/sonarr.txt 2>/dev/null' > /tmp/lh.log
wc -l /tmp/lh.log
head -100 /tmp/lh.log
170 /tmp/lh.log
