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’m far from home on vacation, so I can’t answer precisely, but yeah, I followed the official tutorial. Can’t remember the error though, but I’m close to making it work. It just gets stuck for whatever reason. Maybe that’s because I use qBbittorent in a docker container, don’t know.
So yes, I use the manual search when I need something very specific, which I’d rather do from qbit. Otherwise, I use all the *arr suite for my audiovisual needs. Pretty nice and painless.
Thanks for answering and for giving the link :)
