I added *.arj and arj to the quality profile avoid list without success, and prowlarr is as torrent (i've read sometimes it gets confused and uses nzbget)

The main devs are rejecting the feature with really bad excuses. Basically, it comes down to two reasons:

if you get those lnk files and what ever, then you are using a bad tracker and you need to do better.
episodes are often released early and with such a setting you would miss out on them. The thing is I don't care about early releases, but when a show arrives officially.

Ah that sucks then haha. I'm with you on not caring about early releases, when they are officially released then I care. Also even if that's the case just put in an option to toggle early releases on or off for each show added no?

Precisely, just make it optional, hell even just apply the way it is now as default, but give the option to those that prefer it. But each time it is requested it gets shot down immediately and when people ask why not make it optional no one answers.

The needed change is not even that complex and someone provided the link to the pull request for radarr that implemented the similar function (actually even more complex as it has more options for movies). I've even considered trying to do it myself, but its quite the effort to prepare the dev environment, make the change, test it and make the pull request just to get the same dev shoot it down just out of spite. If the feature request was still open even if the usual devs don't want to do it then it would show that they would accept it...
