I have already done the prerequisites and am trying to get the Jackett.py file(the plugin itself) but every time I click on the download button it takes me to this site. I can't figure out how to download Jackett.py from here. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Use docker?

As per my understanding, this jacket.py plugin will integrate into the search engine is qbittorrent to search for torrents.

Can you explain what docker is & how is it different than this Jacket plugin?

Jacket is like a torrent tracker consolidator. Is your goal to be able to do a jacket powered torrent search through qbittorrent?

IMO these are complimentary tools and you don't need to implement jackett as a plugin into qbittorrent. That feels overly complicated.

I would spin up jackett in a docker container and then set it up to do what you need with qbittorrent as your torrent downloader.

This looks like the source code for jackett.py. You have to copy the text into a file or download the page (you can do that in the right-click menu) and rename it to "jackett.py"

I never got this plug-in working. Tried again a couple weeks back, still no luck. I just gave up.
