I'll start. Did you know you can run a headless version of JD2 on a raspberry pi? It's not the greatest thing in the world, but sometimes its nice to throw a bunch of links in there and go to sleep.

stop manually browsing torrent sites! You're wasting your time.

Download qBittorrent. Download Jackett. Configure Jackett to work inside qBittorrent. You now have a way to search hundreds of trackers all at once within seconds and find literally anything you want.

    You should check out Prowlarr, its like jackett, but integrates better into sonarr/radarr

    Prowlarr has a prettier UI but the torrent sites they support are maintained by Jackett. It noone gives credit, at some point Jackett won't be maintained and Prowlar neither.

    Disclaimer: I'm qBittorrent, Jackett, Flaresolverr and Bazarr developer.

    Damn, I'm huge fan of yours. Using qBbittorent, Jacket, Flarsolverr and Bazarr in docker. Thanks for your work.

    But I never managed to get Jackett plugin to work x)

    https://github.com/qbittorrent/search-plugins/wiki/How-to-configure-Jackett-plugin

    It has limitations, but qBittorrent is used by 40M users aprox and we are only 3-5 active developers. Managing the open issues don't let us time to work on new features...

    Thanks for the link. I've been following these instructions from start. Looks like it's searching for a while, but ends up saying "Jackett: connection error getting indexer list!"

    Who needs new features when the most important ones are working perfectly anyway :)

    I dont need a fancy UI for jackett since it's only needed for the API.

    Prowlarr does have the ability to do a search of all indexers including usenet, combined into one results list, which is very nice for finding rare or niche things outside of Sonarr/Radarr.

    So I have both installed and configured, but only ever use prowlarr for manual searches cause jackett is working and i'm too lazy to change all my settings in my 6 separate ARR instances.

    It's not in the roadmap. You can run qBittorrent-nox (headless) with the web UI. It works really well with thousands of torrents.

    I have all of these programs running on raspberry pi, including Flood (mobile friendly UI for qBittorrent, also supports Deluge), and plex media server. It can't be easier to watch movies and tv shows that way.

    Make an image of your SD card if you haven't already. Better yet run the OS over USB. sd cards to die.

    I have made an image. One sd card already died, but it worked for a long time. It was at least readonly, and I get most of the files off (I had backup, but I wanted to get the most latest files). Movies and series are on 5TB hard drive, so I don't have to worry about that. But are usb sticks really more reliable? My friend is using home assistant and he moved data partition to usb stick, just becaues he heard usb sticks are more reliable than sd cards, but not long after that, usb stick stopped working.

    I've tried just about every type of automated system Sonarr, Radarr fully integrated with usenet and my libraries etc.

    After a while I realised I quite enjoy doing things manually. I get to vet the content a little before I grab it, a bit like going to the video store.

    As long as you have your quality profiles set up correctly they very rarely grab a bad release, I've maybe had to throw out 3 movies and one season of anime it grabbed during the past year I've been using a full *arr setup combined with jellyfin and jellyseerr.

    I only auto-dl with sonarr for anime and groups I know like SubsPlease, EraiRaws etc.

    Movies are capped to FHD-BD and remuxes are only downloaded manually.
    Also because I use a seedbox my storage quota is usually 99% in use and filling it 100% up causes me issues so I am usually paranoid about 1. the quality and 2. what size is being downloaded

    Can you use this with a seedbox? I don't use qBittorrent, and haven't looked into the *arr apps - I just use torrent files (or magnet links) with ruTorrent... I don't mind adding the torrents/magnets manually (or uploading them to be scanned). I have more content than I can keep up with watching, so the *arr apps seem like overkill, but improving the torrent sites process would be nice...

    (If anybody has a tutorial/recommendation for the *arr sites with a seedbox, I'm interested in reading that too, but it looks like more than I need. Maybe not though, IDK.)

    Oh wow this sounds pretty often. From time to time I find it hard locate some file. Especially old audiobooks. Would this be a good way to do that? And do you know a mobile equivalent?

    I doubt you can find anything equivalent on mobile.

    I don't torrent audiobooks often, but on the rare occasion that I have I've used Jackett to find them. with the right trackers, you can find anything.

    I was looking into this like last week but paused it because I'm an idiot who can't figure out which package to grab off their git lol. I think it is amdx64 but I have intel everything, I know it isn't arm though.

    What about private trackers? I very rarely touch public trackers

    Sometimes it's cool to browse sites for FL alone.

    When TorrentDB existed I liked zo browse the current hot section just to download stuff and 1. profit from it being FL and 2. increasing my ratio.
    Other times I got a fee good recommendations because I was curious why so many downloaded something
