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.
Honestly I had the same experience with qbittorrent's plugins. Many are outdated and broken i think.
It's much easier to use sonarr and radarr, with prowlarr for managing torrent mirrors.
Yeah, I'd rather not go down that rabbit hole, it's too much for what I need. I just want to be able to search for torrents easier and add them with one click, I don't need the whole automation stack.
