Cleanuparr is an advanced download manager for the Servarr ecosystem. It works with Sonarr, Radarr, Lidarr, Readarr, and Whisparr alongside download clients like qBittorrent, Transmission, and Deluge. Beyond cleaning up stalled, blocked, and malicious downloads, it searches for missing content and quality upgrades, manages seeding, and removes orphaned files.

Cleanuparr was created primarily to address malicious files, such as *.lnk or *.zipx, that were getting stuck in Sonarr/Radarr and required manual intervention. Some of the reddit posts that made Cleanuparr come to life can be found here, here, here and here.

[!IMPORTANT] Features:

• Strike system to mark bad downloads.
• Remove and block downloads that reached a maximum number of strikes.
• Remove and block downloads that are failing to be imported by the arrs.
• Remove and block downloads that are stalled or in metadata downloading state.
• Remove and block downloads that have a low download speed or high estimated completion time.
• Remove and block downloads blocked by qBittorrent or by Cleanuparr's Malware Blocker.
• Remove and block known malware based on patterns found by the community.
• Automatically trigger a search for downloads removed from the arrs.
• Proactively search for missing items across your Radarr and Sonarr libraries.
• Search for quality upgrades for items that haven't met their quality profile's cutoff (a.k.a. Cutoff Unmet).
• Search for custom format score upgrades with automatic score tracking.
• Clean up downloads that have been seeding for a certain amount of time.
• Remove downloads that are orphaned/have no hardlinks/are not referenced by the arrs anymore (with cross-seed support).
• Scan configured directories for files not claimed by any active torrent, move them to a dedicated orphaned directory, and optionally auto-purge.
• Notify on strike or download removal.
• Ignore certain torrent hashes, categories, tags or trackers from being processed by Cleanuparr.
