IMDb Top 10 shows, every episode, in nine minutes with zurg and Sonarr
zurg can now take a whole show from one pack. A lot of the best copies of a finished show are posted as one pack with every season in it, like S01-S05 or a complete series, and until now zurg skipped those and looked for each season on its own. Now a season can come out of a pack that holds several. zurg places only that season's episodes in its folder inside __magic__, and the show's other seasons take the same pack instead of each one grabbing its own copy. Sonarr still checks every release with its own parser and your quality profile first, and the size limit counts per season so an eight season pack isn't refused for being big. FYI: needs the nightly from October 5 or later.
To see what that does I put IMDb's Top 10 TV shows into a fresh Sonarr pointed at zurg with one Real-Debrid account and DMM's Torznab feed - Breaking Bad, Planet Earth 2, Planet Earth 1, Band of Brothers, Chernobyl, ATLA, The Wire, Sopranos, Blue Planet 2 and Cosmos, 321 episodes in total. Every one of them was in Sonarr 9 minutes after I added the shows. The build before this change had 292 of them after an hour and never finished The Wire, because its last three seasons only came as one complete series pack. Half the list landed in under five minutes this time against eleven before, and it took 20 torrents instead of 33.

Does zurg handle single-episode fetches well, Like airing anime?
Curious about this aswell. Will it keep an eye on on going seasons and auto grab once they are available?
