Originally created by @drrako on GitHub (Nov 8, 2025).

I attest that there is not an existing issue for this?

I have searched the existing open and closed issues

I confirm this is not related to a Cardigann YML Indexer

Current Behavior

When using the Toloka.to indexer in Radarr/Sonarr, I frequently encounter the following problem:

I open Radarr/Sonarr and search for a release using the toloka.to indexer.
Attempting to grab a release torrent file fails, and the indexer is marked as having issues.
To resolve this, I navigate to System > Health, click the pipette icon, and the issue is temporarily fixed.
After this, everything works as expected for a while.
After a few days, the issue recurs and the process repeats.

Based on the logs, it appears that grabbing the feed in problematic scenario is successful. However, when the client requests an actual torrent file, toloka.to authentication does not work and instead of providing the actual torrent file, it returns a login form page.

Expected Behavior

The Toloka.to indexer should consistently allow grabbing releases without requiring manual intervention in the System/Health section.

Steps To Reproduce

Since issue is sporadic and most likely related to authentication flow/state - it is not very trivial to reproduce intentionally.

Environment

- OS: Ubuntu Server 25.04
- Prowlarr: 2.1.5.5216
- Docker Install: Yes (Poddman)
- Using Reverse Proxy: No
- Browser: Firefox 144.0.2

What branch are you running?

The debug logs aren't very useful.

But I noticed your download links contain a &sid=somevalue while I'm not getting any sid query params. Did you enabled some option on their site that might affect this?

Here are the profile settings I have:

I will also enable trace level logging moving forward, as it may provide more helpful information.

I noticed your download links contain a &sid=somevalue, while mine do not include any sid query parameters.

Interestingly, on the second (successful) attempt - after I fixed the indexer in System/Health - the &sid=somevalue parameter was no longer present in the query (you can see this in the logs I attached). I also tested the link with the &sid=somevalue parameter in an authenticated Firefox tab, and it worked fine for me.

Here is the trace log that captures the exact same steps:

Interactive search.
Failed attempt to download the torrent file.
Fixing the indexer on the System/Health page.
Same interactive search and successful download of the same, previously failed torrent file.
