What this person said for the grab event to find where it came from and sonarr also has a new setting per indexer to fail unsafe downloads, the only drawback is you have to let your downloader download the file in the first place.
The alternative is blocking the files with your download client by extension and then manual intervention.
Not every download client supports blocking filetypes. Here's how I solved it:
You can add cleanuperr to your *.arr stack. It will listen to your queues and if something gets stuck, like .arj files, it'll remove them, blocklist them, and maybe re-search? I'm not sure.
You can also change your settings in sonarr to not do any rss sync searches with your public indexers. This stops sonarr from seaching those indexers automatically for the next release. I've notices most of that garbage pops up before the official release, then gets drowned out by the real stuff after the release. If you leave the auto/interactive search enabled, you can just click the auto search button for the episode the day after it comes out. You likely won't pick up any garbage this way.
I wrote a script that spam reports these, and I run it when I'm feeling frustrated with a something, but nothing I've spam reported with the script has gotten taken down yet. So, that sucks too.
Consider reviewing https://trash-guides.info/ which helps pickup best releases, and yeah review/consider your trackers, some are horrible for zero quality cobtrol
Plugging *arrs into public torrent trackers is always a losing proposition. Consider either paying for usenet or getting into some entry level private trackers (lurk on Reddit's /r/opensignups)
I know this doesn't answer your question but I've never had this kind of problem with Usenet. I pay $35 USD a year and bought a couple "lifetime" memberships 6 years ago.
What others have said should help solve the problem with torrents. If you can, it might be worth getting an account with a private site.
