Verifying -arr Downloads?
I found an av1-labeled version of a TV show on Sonarr, so I downloaded it, replacing my previous 264 version. I started to play it and realized it was a smaller 264 version.
Is there a way for Sonarr and Radarr to verify if a download's version matches it's label? Do I just need to stick with trusted distribution groups?

I would really recommend looking into Usenet. I was in your position a few months ago (starting to look for private trackers), but ended up hearing about Usenet and going that route instead. It has been amazing so far. It has everything I am looking for, I don’t need to worry about a VPN, and I can download as fast as my ISP can go, so I get my content in minutes instead of hours. I also don’t have to worry about my VPN disconnecting for some reason and my ISP sending me a nasty letter. The only downside is, if you want the best, you’ll have to pay for an indexer and a downloader, but it’s not that expensive and is certainly worth it for the benefits over torrents.
Same. I took some of the money I was paying for streaming services and paid for usenet and vip service opensubtitles. Black Friday hit and I got more usenet services which is great to have.
I like having the content but I was fine paying for legitimate services until they started trying to fuck me over.
Do you have any reading material suggestions with usenet?
Private trackers sound like hard work. Sounds like you pay a fee to have access to the tracker and you need to have a good upload ratio to not be kicked out.
As much as I hate to send anyone to Reddit, the wiki on the Usenet subreddit is great. They explain the concepts and components and have a list of good indexers and providers.
If you have any other questions or need help setting anything up, feel free to send me a PM.
Thanks for the suggestion and the offer. Both are appreciated.
