Radarr
The movie half of the *arr stack: Radarr is a .NET collection manager that automates acquiring
films for Usenet and BitTorrent users the way Sonarr does for TV. Add a movie once and Radarr
handles the rest: it monitors indexers and RSS feeds, grabs a matching release the moment one
appears, sends it to SABnzbd, NZBGet, qBittorrent, Deluge, Transmission, rTorrent, or another
connected download client, then imports, sorts, and renames the file into your library
structure. Quality profiles are the control surface - define allowed resolutions and a cutoff,
and Radarr keeps upgrading files automatically, replacing a DVD rip when a Blu-ray release
lands. Custom formats go further, scoring releases by codec, HDR metadata, release group,
streaming source, or arbitrary regex so the copy you want always wins the pick. Failed
downloads retry with another release automatically; a manual search shows every candidate and
explains why one was skipped. Release parsing recognizes director's cuts, special editions,
AKA titles, and hardcoded subs. Plex and Kodi integration handles notifications, library
refreshes, and metadata like posters, trailers, and subtitles, and a calendar view tracks
upcoming releases. It pairs naturally with Jellyseerr for request management and shares its
API conventions with the whole *arr ecosystem.
