I added *.arj and arj to the quality profile avoid list without success, and prowlarr is as torrent (i've read sometimes it gets confused and uses nzbget)

Yeah it doesn't look at file extensions. Block the release group name. Those releases are malware.

I’ve been having this problem too, and it’s hardly any single release group. SuccessfulCrab has been the worst offender, but I’ve also seen some from EZTV and MeGusta. Jerks seed these torrents under all sorts of different names. I also am not quite sure how to filter them out. Fortunately, my *arr stack knows better than to import those files.

I've only seen it for two so far, and after I blocked them it was fine.

Part of the problem was Sonarr trying to grab episodes that hadn't aired yet. I think a fix for that is forthcoming. That should cut down on them. I don't know if there is a fix to let you block extensions.
