Change download settings?

I have a Strato/Terra system linked to a Premiere system via CoStar. Whenever I purchase a 4K download from the store, by default, it also downloads an HD version to my Premiere server. I recently ran out of space on the Premiere server, but I was able to recover a lot of space by deleting over 100 duplicate HD copies. Since then, whenever I purchase a 4K title from the store, I manually change the download settings so that I only download the 4k version. But remembering to do this is something of a pain and I would like to change my download settings so that I only get the 4K version. Is there a way to do that? I can't find anything, but I'm guessing that there must be some setting about this because when a title is only HD or DVD quality, the system never downloads the DVD version. Can this be done?
 
Do you have more Premiere zones than the CoStar player? If you do have additional zones the Premiere system will automatically download the HD version since it's compatible with the other zones.

No. The CoStar zone is the only Premiere zone.

Hmmm... What settings do you have under System Pairing Options? There is a option to choose to download HD and SD to your Encore or Premiere system.
I'm not sure if there is another setting as well.
 
I got in touch with Kscape who explained the problem. The only Premiere player that I have is a M500 connected to the CoStar, but I also have a M700 Disk Vault that the store sees as an additional zone.

Great. That explains it.

I usually add the HD to the download que and if the extras are in a separate file a download that and delete the movie. If it's one file I delete it to save space.
 
Earlier in the week I was noticing a few titles with pre-configured 4k+extras-only download sets. I hope this option takes-off.
