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.
stop manually browsing torrent sites! You’re wasting your time.
Download qBittorrent. Download Jackett. Configure Jackett to work inside qBittorrent. You now have a way to search hundreds of trackers all at once within seconds and find literally anything you want.
You should check out Prowlarr, its like jackett, but integrates better into sonarr/radarr
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 :)
I have all of these programs running on raspberry pi, including Flood (mobile friendly UI for qBittorrent, also supports Deluge), and plex media server. It can’t be easier to watch movies and tv shows that way.
Are they all running on the Pi, or just the torrenting tools?
Everything is running on Pi. But I have Raspberry Pi 4 with 4GB of ram. Actually I have Raspberry Pi 400, which is basically 4GB variant of Raspberry Pi 4, with slightly overclocked CPU and passive cooling, inside small keyboard, but I only got that because Raspberry Pi 4 was out of stock.
I was looking into this like last week but paused it because I’m an idiot who can’t figure out which package to grab off their git lol. I think it is amdx64 but I have intel everything, I know it isn’t arm though.
It’s called amd64 because AMD invented the x86-64 processor instruction set, it works both on Intel and AMD
type
uname -min your terminal
IPv6 torrenting for the most part goes unchecked by the companies who send threat letters to your ISP. I have a US seedbox which doesn’t have IPv4 and it’s been working great with a lot of public torrents
Yeah, setting up the Servarrs (Lidarr/Radarr/Sonarr + Prowlarr) along with your bt client, then trawling opensignups to get onto private torrent sites.
Usenet is worth every penny
You can use IRC to pirate ebooks that you won’t be able to find on torrent sites.
Wait until you hear about library genesis.
Take a look at annas-archive too. It’s run by the same people, and includes both libgen, but also z-library books. I find the search on the site to be better as well.
What I really want to know is what you guys use for getting torrents for entire seasons of shows, or even the entire show at once. I’m not new to piracy, I’m just new to talking about it with people.
Omg… i wish I knew about this 2 weeks ago…
Wireguard creates a new network interface that accepts, encrypts, wraps, and ships packets out your typical network interface.
If you were to create a kernel network namespace and move the wireguard interface into that new namespace, the connection to your existing nic is not broken.
You can then use some custom systemd units to start your *rr software of choice in said namespace, rendering you immune to dns leaks, and any other such vpn failures.
If you throw bridge interfaces into the mix, you can create gateways to tor / i2p / ipfs / Yggdrasil / etc as desired. You’ll need a bridge anyway to get your requester software interface exposed to your reverse proxy.
Wireguard also allows multiple peers, so you could multi-nic a portable personal device, and access all your admin interfaces while traveling, with the same vpn-failure-free peace of mind.
I know some of these words
