Qbittorrent:

In the menu theres a search engine you can activate

It requires python but it will more or less auto install it all for you.

Go to the new tab and in the bottom theres a link to a page where you can download plugins for the search function (or maybe you need to just search first? Its been a while.. lol)

Download the ones you want. (I just downloaded them all), and throw them into a folder (its all .py files)

Tell the search plugin to install the plugins from that folder. It can inatall them all at once. Just press OK to the ones that might be outdated.

Search for something. Sort/filter as needed, and download.

You can basically download most torrents without opening a browser.

Alternatively the megathread is decent

    To add to this:

    Do this, but instead of "add the ones you want" just add Jackett, then go to their github (you can actually get there through the "add the ones you want" menu in qbit, click

    search -> search plugins -> "You can get new search engine plugins here: [URL]" -> [In the sidebar of that page] click "How to configure Jackett plugin" -> click "Jackett" to get to their repo and "this address" to get the stuff to copy for your jackett.py file for qbit and stick it in the right folder, which will depend on your OS.
