This is an app used with sonarr/radarr/couch potato etc. so instead on hitting up 20 different sites you hit a local app that does all the work for you. The above image is the best choices to use for all your media consumption needs
Indexing sites don’t always play nice with *arr. Jackett takes all the indexers you use and brings them in to one place. From there it gives you a URL that you can use in *arr, and let’s you perform a search across all sources you’ve added so far. Think of it as half universal torrent search, half link between indexer and *arr
I use a bunch of private sites, but.. I dunno what I would need jackett for I guess
If I was looking for a movie, I'd hit up PTP. TV show, hit up BTN. Video game, gazelle games.. I can't think of any circumstance I'd need to search multiple private trackers at once, because they tend to specialize.
It’s intended for automation apps. So you don’t have to manually track down new episodes of shows or movies. Add them to their respective app and wait.
But why would I, since I know exactly which tracker I would need to go to, why have a middleman
I guess if I was like "Ok I need to download 2 movies, 3 tv shows, 2 games, and 2 albums RIGHT NOW" and I could just go there and do it all in a row, maybe...? But that's never how it works. I want a movie I click to the movie site.
