I had a small media library for myself, and wanted to automate it a bit more, so implemented arr stack (prowlarr, radarr, lidarr), it seems to work but I’m not sure how to pick indexers. I have no experience with it, and I initially just picked a public one, but it barely ever seems to download something.
I’m a bit confused about it, should i just pick as many as I can? Or join a private one? But no idea where to start there.
Any advice or push in the right direction would be appreciated.


Set your download client to ignore file types you don’t want. Like sample files, exe, .dll etc
Yes I had totally done that! It was just an always expanding list as they tried different extensions.
No issues now with a private tracker, ever.
