<p>The Current logic on how downloads are compared is <strong>Quality Trumps All</strong><imgalt="‼"class="twemoji"src="https://twemoji.maxcdn.com/v/latest/svg/203c.svg"title=":bangbang:"/></p>
<p>In some cases it might be preferred to not have Quality Trump All, and let it be handled via Preferred Words / Custom Formats.</p>
<p>To accomplish this you will need to merge the quality's with each other.</p>
<p>Here you will see the current logic so you understand how the possible downloads are compared.</p>
<p>As of 2021-11-06 the logic is as follows:</p>
