    !!! warning ""

        \* Use Custom Formats and TRaSH Guide's [season pack custom format](https://trash-guides.info/Sonarr/sonarr-collection-of-custom-formats/#season-pack) with a score greater than zero to prefer season packs.

    !!! warning ""

        REPACKS and PROPERs are v2 of Qualities and thus rank above a non-repack of the same quality. [Set Media Management => File Management `Download Proper & Repacks` to "Do Not Prefer"](/sonarr/settings#file-management) and use [TRaSH's Repack/Proper Custom Format](https://trash-guides.info/Sonarr/sonarr-collection-of-custom-formats/#repackproper) with a positive score as suggested by [TRaSH's Guides](https://trash-guides.info/Sonarr/sonarr-setup-quality-profiles/)
