Whenever I torrent something I feel like the torrent almost always includes addtitional subtitles and audio tracks. Is there a way to prevent this? I've tried to set up bazarr to atleast fetch the correct subititles and default those to english but its not always working either. But the default audio tracks I've yet to find a way to delete/set english as default.

Is this as common of a problem for Usenet users? Been considering going over to usenet for a while.

I don't get how having additional audio tracks and subtitles in other languages is a problem. Idk what you're using to watch your stuff but, at least in Jellyfin, you can set the default audio and subtitle languages in your profile settings.

Considering I'm hosting this for family/friends they get rather confused about this when launching a movie and its in Russian.. While its easy to change it would be more convenient if they/me didn't have to. Sometimes movies/shows also strictly only download the movie in Russian even though my settings are applied to only download English stuff.

If you're using the Servarr apps to fetch media, then you need to set up Sonarr/Radarr using the TRaSH guides to make sure they don't fetch media in other languages.

It's possible you might have missed a step then, if you're getting a lot of Russian releases. TRaSH scores bad dual audio very low, so you shouldn't be getting things that default to Russian if you're looking for English, because it should simply refuse to download them if set up correctly.

yeah thats very possible, ill go over my settings to double check everything.

It can't be that confusing, my 9 year old brother manages to change the language just fine but, as I said, you can just set a default language in the profile settings of each individual user, so it'll automatically use that language, no matter what the default language for the video file is
