I don't know why you are annoyed by this.

You use an automatic tool. It's bound to fail or make a mistake once in a while.

The "uploader" likely knew this, so they had some fun. It's not like what you are doing is legal or anything. "Le me go complain on my blog about someone messing with how I do my illegal activites".

    As annoying as this is, I agree. It's a case of automate better or add a confirmation layer to the download decision.

    The reason I don't auto-DL anything yet is cos I'm too lazy to spend hours making sure it's setup correctly.

    This seems like a one off for them, but for me whenever tracking ongoing TV series I would regularly get malicious files as they appear before the real ones, and get found and downloaded by sonarr.

    These days I only automate from private trackers, and enable a public tracker for an interactive search only if something can't be found on the private trackers.

    Most good trackers can be used completely free of charge. But you have to work your way up to them, proving yourself as worthy on a lower tier tracker.

    There are plenty of guides on this. Most recommend starting with an open interview on RED or MAM, then using the invite forums once you qualify.

    You can also watch for open sign-ups. TL opens its doors a few times per year (and usually during December), and it's at least as good as the public trackers. Sometimes these have invite forums, but usually not. TL does not.

    You will, however, want to spend money on a VPN with port forwarding. This should run ~$30/year.
