Twice now, I've gotten pinged to download Internet Download Manager. It's an .exe file, so nothing I'd ever run on my mac and not something I even knew existed till it popped up on my Bitorrent app. Since TVShows is the only app I use to actively watch torrents, I'm wondering if this is a bug on your end somewhere.

    Hi mjsd555,

    Sorry for the late reply. The only way that download could come from TVShows is if you had the "additional sources" option checked (in TVShows Preferences), because that option makes TVShows perform a search in a torrent search engine where there's no uploader verification... otherwise TVShows only downloads from trusted The Pirate Bay users, so it's highly improbable that they would upload some .exe file.

    If you'd send us the log (About tab -> View logs, please paste the content into a text file and attach it to the message) we'd take a look just in case.
