I'll start. Did you know you can run a headless version of JD2 on a raspberry pi? It's not the greatest thing in the world, but sometimes its nice to throw a bunch of links in there and go to sleep.

Prowlarr has a prettier UI but the torrent sites they support are maintained by Jackett. It noone gives credit, at some point Jackett won't be maintained and Prowlar neither.

Disclaimer: I'm qBittorrent, Jackett, Flaresolverr and Bazarr developer.

Hey thanks for your work. QBT and Jackett are super stable and well done.

Damn, I'm huge fan of yours. Using qBbittorent, Jacket, Flarsolverr and Bazarr in docker. Thanks for your work.

But I never managed to get Jackett plugin to work x)

It has limitations, but qBittorrent is used by 40M users aprox and we are only 3-5 active developers. Managing the open issues don't let us time to work on new features...

Thanks for the link. I've been following these instructions from start. Looks like it's searching for a while, but ends up saying "Jackett: connection error getting indexer list!"

Who needs new features when the most important ones are working perfectly anyway :)

You're doing gods work. Amazing how many people benefit from your efforts. Thank you.

I dont need a fancy UI for jackett since it's only needed for the API.

Prowlarr does have the ability to do a search of all indexers including usenet, combined into one results list, which is very nice for finding rare or niche things outside of Sonarr/Radarr.

So I have both installed and configured, but only ever use prowlarr for manual searches cause jackett is working and i'm too lazy to change all my settings in my 6 separate ARR instances.

Made the reverse. Switched to prowlarr and keeping jackett if something does not work on prowlarr.

Qbit desktop thin client when? Lol

It's not in the roadmap. You can run qBittorrent-nox (headless) with the web UI. It works really well with thousands of torrents.

Yeah, just wish there was one. The web UI is very clunky so I use Flood but that has its own quirks. Would be cool though, would bring me back to when I used Deluge!
