To be clear, this is just a joke, and I don't look down on direct downloading. It absolutely has its place, and sometimes I do it myself if it's just faster to download a file directly. Torrenting is just so much more convenient, though, especially when using Jackett's manual search.

I've considered switching to this program, but from what I've heard, its manual search isn't as good as Jackett's, and I only use Jackett for manual searching. Apparently Prowlarr is more suited for use with the .arr suite, which is why its manual search isn't as good, and it doesn't have as many available indexers. I heard all this a while ago, though. Is this all still the case?

They're mostly functionally equivalent, but prowlarr supports usenet indexers in addition as well as having a better interface.

Jackett shows if torrent is freeleech. Prowlarr doesnt. Shame because prowlarr is more reliable

Prowlarr properly shows if a torrent is freeleech for me. Maybe the feature was added after you tried it?
