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’dd do it myself if it’s just faster to download it 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 :)
