I searched for ages for a replacement of something like torrentz, and the rarbg drop made me start the search again. I ended up trying the included search in qbittorrent, and I'm very happy with the results, it scans many public trackers, and I have always found what I wanted.

To be clear, qbittorrent is a desktop app for linux/windows/mac, that has a panel where you can search for torrents:

Using radarr/sonarr/jackett/transmission for a lil over a year now and forgot about searching for torrents like this already. Oh the pain.

the hunt is half the fun for me lol also maintaining a min 2.0 ratio in private trackers is like a game

I do love jackett as a search engine tho!

Might I interest you in Prowlarr as an alternative to Jackett? It handles the entire indexer process for the other *arr apps, so you don't have to update each app independently.

I too can vouch for prowlarr. Simple and just works

Thanks for this. the fact that I needed to link each indexer in each ARR as well as jackett made me wonder wtf was the point of jackett at all.

This might make me sound like some kind of snob, but I wish Sonarr had the option to select 4k+HDR. It's quite a noticeable difference if you are using HDR displays. There are a number of NF shows that get released in 1080p-HDR as well.

You can always make a custom quality. I can't display HDR so I have to specifically exclude anything with HDR in it and did that via custom quality settings.
