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.

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

Honestly I had the same experience with qbittorrent's plugins. Many are outdated and broken i think.

It's much easier to use sonarr and radarr, with prowlarr for managing torrent mirrors.

Yeah, I'd rather not go down that rabbit hole, it's too much for what I need. I just want to be able to search for torrents easier and add them with one click, I don't need the whole automation stack.

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

[–] lud@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

I have never heard of Medusa and it seems pretty outdated compared to Sonarr.

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having it years ago but as a qbittorrent user I tried the search plugins and they were pretty much all broken and outdated, especially as many only worked for a single tracker.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.
