Jackett's manual search is so, so good
(lemmy.dbzer0.com)
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.
Don't you need to find 22 indexers to make that happen? Are these all public trackers because I don't think there are even that many left. Or are you using private trackers? I tried using Jacket but it's no good without having indexers, I thought it comes preinstalled with indexers
Jackett comes preloaded with 574 indexers, and none of the ones I use are private. All of mine are public indexers, you just have to know the names of some popular torrent sites. I discovered half the indexers I use from people on r/Piracy (before the migration) talking about how much they like how they work. That's how I found Idope, Knaben, and Torlock. Others, like 1337x, Nyaa.si, LimeTorrents, and EZTV are all indexers I was familiar with as I had used them personally and recognized them when I clicked into the "add indexers" drop-down on the interface. Barring all that, you could just ask someone else to send you a screenshot of all the indexers they use on their Jackett setup. Here's a list of the ones I use. Adding indexers to Jackett is basically the easiest part, and you only have to do it once.
I must have tried a different application before(not Jackett) because this one is totally different and I do see the preinstalled indexers and they work great! Now, is there an Android client for Jackett? My ideal scenario would be to search all my Jackett indexers from a nice Android app and tap a magnet link. I already have a torrrent app (Transdroid) installed on my Android so it would take it from there.
I'm not sure if they have an android version of Jackett. It would be a dream come true if that were the case, but I'm sure it would be listed in the Jackett github page if a mobile version was available. Sadly, there's no mention of anything like that on the github page.
Really glad to hear you were able to get Jackett working, though! It really is an amazing program.
Hmm, I couldn't figure out how to add them, so I gave up. I'll have to try it again
It does come preinstalled with them, that's the whole point of Jackett. You just need to enable them in the dashboard.
What? Now I'm confused, when I installed it and tried searching there was nothing. I could go configure them but I didn't know what to do there. EDIT, never mind, I was confusing Jackett with something else, Jackett works great.
