<p>Swaparr is an automated download monitoring and cleanup utility that works with your *arr applications (Sonarr, Radarr, Lidarr, etc.). It monitors your download queues and automatically removes stalled, failed, or problematic downloads to keep your automation running smoothly.</p>

<p>Swaparr is a stalled download cleaning utility for the *arr applications built into Huntarr. It provides basic features and easier configuration when compared to Cleanuperr.</p>
Swaparr works on all downloads started via the *arr application, not only the ones scheduled by Huntarr. This results in stalled or otherwise flagged downloads being removed. If you want to keep these downloads, deactivate Swaparr for those downloads.
Assume a download is stalled right from the beginning. Using the default values of Sleep Duration of 15 minutes and 3 strikes:

After 0-15 minutes (whenever Swaparr runs) the download is monitored by Swaparr. 15 minutes later there is no progress: <strong>strike 1</strong>; 15 minutes later: <strong>strike 2</strong>; further 15 minutes: <strong>strike 3</strong> and the download is removed.

In total it takes <strong>45-60 minutes</strong> (depending on the first run of Swaparr) to remove bad downloads.

<strong>Note:</strong> Bad downloads as specified by Swaparr's security features are removed immediately with the next scan.

<li><strong>Shorter intervals (5-10 min):</strong> Faster response to stalled downloads, more system load</li>
Adding extensions like .vob, .iso, .mdf, .msi, .arj, .ace, .001, .rar, and .zip to the Malicious File Extensions list helps cut down on failed imports significantly. These formats are commonly used on public anonymous trackers to distribute password-protected files and zip bombs, which can reduce failed imports from 30% to less than 5%.
