Jackett's manual search is so, so good

And Prowlarr is even better if you're also using Radarr/Sonarr/Lidar.

Today I learned that some torrent clients provide a built-in torrent search engine.

I've learned a lot here on Lemmy

What is Jackett's manual search? Never heard of it.

Jackett is pretty good, but you should really check out the *arr suite of apps. And when you do, you'll find Prowlarr is quite a bit better than Jackett for finding just the stuff you want.

Your meme is missing one more picture where everything explodes with full servarr setup

The next step is using Jellyseerr to tell Sonarr and Radarr to query Jackett to automatically download stuff you requested at the quality you've defined and have it automatically sent to your Transmission server.

Yeah until jackett shits the bed and all of a sudden all indexers fail, and the "official fix" is to completely reinstall.

Edit: Don't downvote me, express your displeasure here and here. Tell 'em I sent ya.

Prowlarr gang checking in

Built in search in qBittorrent? Why am I learning about this only now? This is awesome just gave it a shot

I would like to set up an .arr stack that dumps files into my OMV NAS, where Jellyfin can pick them up, but I want the torrent traffic to go through my Proton VPN. Is this a common configuration, or should I be doing something differently?

Yeah this is honestly how I find/download most stuff. Almost all trackers on I'm on have jackett support, and then I can choose the exact release I want.

Im feeling very weird not knowing pingas about what you are talking

Me who never heard about it: ??

I NEVER managed to make Jackett's plugin work in my qBbittorent. No matter how many tutorials I follow x)

I DDL because I live in america and people here tell me there are no good free VPNs (I do not have disposable income)

but i dont wanna pay for a vpn...

You guys are not using radarr/sonarr?

I'm kind of shocked that there isn't a PonFarr for this ecosystem.

How do you install search plugins in qBittorrent? When I follow their instructions, paste the plugin URL to add it, nothing happens. I'm using a headless qBittorrent web gui

Are torrent search engines built into clients an older feature nowadays? I remember uTorrent having it years ago but as a qbittorrent user I tried the search plugins and they were pretty much all broken and outdated, especially as many only worked for a single tracker.

I went with sonarr and radarr for the full beans

I just started sailing again and all the torrents i want for my fav bands are stuck at 0. So i've started getting songs one by one from that website that takes them from deezer i found on here.

Am I the only one that uses Medusa to auto download shows?

i direct download cause i dont have a vpn

Oh ma gaaahh REALLY???? Qbittorrent has a search engine??????
