Jackett's manual search is so, so good

Funny you should mention it, I actually discovered Jackett through Radarr/Sonarr. I saw a lot of people a few years ago on r/Piracy raving about how much they love their Radarr/Sonarr setup, so I decided to follow a video tutorial on how to set up Radarr/Sonarr. One of the steps was to install and configure Jackett. Long story short, I realized a Radarr/Sonarr setup just wasn't worth it for me (didn't have the time/money to set up a dedicated computer for it), so I uninstalled all the .arr programs and gave up on that, but I forgot to uninstall Jackett. Later, I rediscovered it on my system, and while poking around on the interface, I found the manual search function and used it. Suffice to say, it's all been uphill from there lol

Nope. Too much of a hassle to set up IMO, and it takes a dedicated computer with a large hard drive to even be worth it. Might be worth it for others, but Stremio and Jackett are enough for me. I am glad that all the constant Radarr/Sonarr raving on r/Piracy led me to discovering Jackett in the first place, though, lol. I would not have found it if I hadn't tried to set up Radarr and Sonarr once without realizing how much of a time, hardware, and monetary investment it is.

nope. Every time I try them, they fuck up my movies / series categorization. They have bad support for multilingual content (or maybe the releasers should use better naming). To be honest I never understood why radarr and sonarr is useful. How many movies are you watching that downloading becomes a time wasting effort? For TV series, why don't you download packs that contain the entire season?

For each movies I spend less than a minute for the torrent search, for tv series less than 5 minutes just because I am picky on quality. Given how many problems people have with the -arr stack, I think my time is better spent like this. Maybe stuff would be different with usenet
