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.
My solution to this has just been to run it in Docker. Update the container and redeploy and it's working again. Only had it happen once or twice though, so not sure if what you're describing is what I experienced or something different.
Yeah I might do this, I've yet to use docker (new-ish to linux) so I'll have to look into it. I also need to find out which *arr will search usenet indexers and auto-dl shows I say to get, and I think I need to run that thing in a docker container, so I have to figure it out anyway! Lol thanks for the idea!
