I only download 1080p unless it's something like LOTR that I'll splurge on space for. A comedy doesn't need spectacular visual fidelity.

Just downloaded a 44gb file for a 1080p version of Forest Gump, and I'm just kinda not interested in filling my hard drives with excessive file sizes. Noticed that some other films are 20gb and 13gb, etc, still way too big for what they are.

Any way to maybe have radarr have a file size preference? Like, for 1080p I don't need it to be any bigger than 3gb, and most movies can be 1.5gb and be fine

Edit: I have to say, I asked a beginner/basic question and no one here has tried to belittle me, or come at me with hostility, I've only gotten helpful advice. Thank you all!

It can save data by excluding data streams that you don't need. For instance, I don't need French, Italian, Japanese, German 5.1 audio streams that each have 700Mbps bitrates or higher, nor do I need an English 1.5Gbps master audio stream, a 700 Mbps English stream, a 500 Mbps descriptive audio for the blind, and 5 different special edition commentary tracks for a film I'll watch once or twice. All those tracks can really add up, and torrent sites are often country or language specific, so remuxes might have original language and/or native language audio only.
