• Actionable feedback, tl;dr for *arr users:

    Five minutes of setup:

    • qBittorrent: add *.exe, *.scr, *.lnk, *.bat, *.cmd to “Excluded file names”, tt’ll just refuse to download them.
    • Sonarr / Radarr: blocklist with “Remove from client” when you see one of these.
    • Prowlarr: if a tracker keeps serving this crap, demote it or drop it.
