P2P releases are a bit smarter and work sort of together by not doing the same release.
Also I noticed that with some Scene releases the 5.1 audio was stripped out or converted to AAC audio.
And in my opinion the P2P are of better quality.

<p><strong>Q: Why do I see so many repacks/propers of Amazon WEB-DLs lately?</strong></p>
<p>A: A large portion of Amazon WEB-DLs in the last week have only had 192Kbps DD+5.1, because that's all Amazon made available initially.
The proper 640Kbps DD+5.1 audio might appear a few hours later or a few months, but when they get updated the episodes will be REPACKED.</p>

<p>A: I decided to redo the Release Profile to make it easier for me and the end user to update/manage the Release Profile, I decided not to add the scene groups anymore (and also removing the current ones). Why? Lately I noticed a lot of popup scene releases meaning we need to update often.</p>

<p>When I started using Sonarr/Radarr, I noticed that it didn't grab the releases that I actually wanted, as I'm a bit picky about which releases and what quality I prefer.
So I decided to fine tune it to try to get the releases & quality I preferred. On Discord, I also noticed that others run in to the same issue so I explained them how I managed to get it solved. Being that I had to explain it often, I decided to write it down and make it public so I could easily link it to someone when they needed it.
