So, I have my arr stack set up to queue downloads through qbittorrent and I've tweaked my release/delay profiles to 720 minutes after release. For some reason my modified version of Sonarr is trying to grab my requested linux .iso's before the official release. Fortunately, I have .mp4 and .mkv filtered in qbittorrent so I don't end up with any of those nasty pirated tv shows, but it clogs up my download client. They'll just sit at 100% complete and seed indefinitely because all the content is filtered to "do not download".

Sonarr sees this as progress in the activity tab and won't attempt to pick up the actual linux iso release when it is official.

I'm pretty sure the "after release" setting is just based on when the first match appears on the indexers, not the air date in the metadata. So the initial release isn't going to be a factor.

I don't see this issue, but I've got fairly intricate profiles setup based on the TRaSH guides. I suspect some combination of those profiles filter things out for me. Is there anything obvious in the problematic downloads you could filter out with a profile, like a format or release group?

Format, no, but sometimes the release group. I've filtered some of them out but there's times when they're the only option for high quality content. So I was hoping to solve the issue another way.

Excellent insight on the after release setting, that would explain why they're getting downloaded prior to the air date. I always assumed that's what that meant.
