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.

And Prowlarr is even better if you're also using Radarr/Sonarr/Lidar.

    I've considered switching to this program, but from what I've heard, its manual search isn't as good as Jackett's, and I only use Jackett for manual searching. Apparently Prowlarr is more suited for use with the .arr suite, which is why its manual search isn't as good, and it doesn't have as many available indexers. I heard all this a while ago, though. Is this all still the case?

    They're mostly functionally equivalent, but prowlarr supports usenet indexers in addition as well as having a better interface.

    Ah. Well, I don't use Usenet and Jackett's interface suits me fine. Guess I'll stick to Jackett then. Thanks for the info!

    I honestly use them both since my arrs are all set up for jacket for the few torrents i need whrn usenet doesnt have something and it works fine so no point redoing everything. I use prowlarr for all my manual searches though.
