Whenever I torrent something I feel like the torrent almost always includes addtitional subtitles and audio tracks. Is there a way to prevent this? I’ve tried to set up bazarr to atleast fetch the correct subititles and default those to english but its not always working either. But the default audio tracks I’ve yet to find a way to delete/set english as default.

Is this as common of a problem for Usenet users? Been considering going over to usenet for a while.

    I automated this with FileFlows.

    New media automatically has Audio tracks sorted with the best track (English, most channels, highest bitrate) set to index0 and set as default and a basic stereo AAC track added for compatibility if there isn’t already one in the file. superfluous tracks are removed. Subtitles are also cleared out if there are extras too.

    I also have Fileflows handle a light compression pass on files that are more than 6 months old for archival, in certain video libraries where I don’t need perfect copies stored.

    Most of the files you get from private and public trackers will be same ones you can get via Usenet so it’s pretty much the same everywhere, filtering your *Arrs to prioritise certain release groups helps when you know specific shows or genres are better supplied by a certain group.
