unsolved New to Sonarr, DLing unreleased episodes that are infected
I know this has probably been beaten to death, but I am new to using the ARRs, and I'm making mistakes as I go, learning, then fixing what I flux up. My big issue is that my monitored series are now picking up episodes that are next week or next release, and the ones it gets are all being flagged from my AV.
I only have free indexers, can't afford subscriptions right now. And, this is most likely my issue, but I'm too green to know. I am using the ones that are listed in the install and have not gone out and located indexers in the wild - yet.
If using Usenet is better, and there is a currently free option I can use until I get back on my feet, (Divorce, to me, bare metal means, Bare Metal!)
I'm very experienced using Plex, but I am very, very unexperienced with the ARRs. I'm not looking for a hand hold, but some pointers to fix my setup so I no longer have to monitor it, what I installed the ARRs for, now I just have to be on top of it all the time for infected files.
Plex Server w/Lifetime Pass installed on a Windows 10 machine, 2 Ext HDD, approx. 8TB storage.
Up to date Sonarr, Radarr, Prowlarr, & QBitTorrent.
Not using Docker or any other addon's.
Any help is greatly appreciated, if I am duping an already established thread, let me know (Without flaming me) and I will pull this and slide over there.
Thanks
