How to install QBittorrent search plugins on a seedbox? (lemm.ee)

Hi all! I have a Feral seedbox that runs QBit and can't seem to install search plugins. I've tried a few things:

From the unofficial search plugins page, open the raw python for 1337x and paste its URL into QBit after opening Search plugins > Install new plugin > Plugin path.
Download that same .py file and FTP it to my seedbox. In Plugin path, enter ~/.local/share/qBittorrent/nova3/engines/one337x.py
Restart Qbit, since the above is my plugins directory anyway, so maybe it will detect the new plugin. Nope.

Am I missing something stupid? The "official" instructions tell me to browse for a local file, but there's no file browser in this version of QBit (4.3.9 if it matters).

What's driving me crazy is I'm pretty sure I've successfully done this before. I know I can use Jackett (or Sonarr), but the first feels unfinished and buggy and the the second is way more than I need for my use case.

Does anyone here use Qbittorrent search plugins and see what I'm screwing up? Thanks!

If you have a seedbox you might find it way more advantageous to install Sonarr/Radarr/Prowlarr. Manual search seems more ideal for someone pirating at home that only has their computer on for a couple hours a day.

Arr is way more than I want or need. I use a seedbox so I can easily keep ratios up on private trackers or blast in an episode I want to watch immediately, but I can't be bothered with that finnicky thing! It has like 19 components.

For my level of downloading, the old ways are best ;)

19 components? It's just the three programs (sonarr-Tv, radarr-movies, prowlarr-your trackers) to get the most use. The others are for music, porn, user requests, etc and not needed unless you want to automate that stuff as well.

Fair enough if you want to keep doing it manually but they're not as complicated or finicky as you may have been lead to believe.

You can use only Prowlarr. Add all of your trackers and download client to it then you can search there and it will add the torrent to your seedbox.
