Jackett Alternatives?
Is there anything Jackett does that can't be manually installed to qBittorrent as a search plugin? I ask because Jackett DOES NOT work for me. Trust me, I've tried everything even with tech support. Its not my VPN and its not my ISP, because the sites are accessible and qBittorrent is definitely configured to work (and don't get me started about configuring Jackett, it gets old quick). I just want to make sure I'm not missing out on any potential trackers
Prowlarr is an alternative if you're using sonarr/radarr.
+1 for prowlarr, way easier to set up and maintain and you don't have to manually add each entry to sonarr/radarr. I've switched over several months ago and it's been working wonderfully.
Wait, how does that work? I’ve always added them manually.
At least from when I started using it, new/updated trackers will automatically appear under Sonarr/Radarr > Settings > Indexers. You have some control over keeping everything in perfect sync or just mirroring additions/removals. Pretty nifty!
Oh that’s cool! I’ll have to check that out! Thanks!
I'm not yet. I plan on setting up a server for the *arr suite, but I'm not there yet. But it sounds great on paper
prowlarr works great stand alone too, the manual search and indexer/tracker database are excellent and much easier to use than Jackett.
Well yeah, Jackett supports around 585 public/private torrent indexers and trackers. You can view them all on their Github page https://github.com/Jackett/Jackett
AFAIK there are not 585 existing search plugins you can install into qBittorrent so Jackett has way, way more functionality in that sense.
The better question is whether you need all those as search plugins? Probably not, you're likely fine with a few search plugins for the bigger sites.
Need? Probably not, but the options "feel" lacking without it...if that makes any sense
lol
lmao, even
I know haha
