Prowlarr allows you to add as many trackers as you want. It supports torrent and Usenet sites, public or private.
You can give it a single search query and it’ll search all viable sources simultaneously and return a compiled list of everything it finds.
You can also direct it to your arr programs like Sonarr and Radarr. Prowlarr will add its indexers to your other apps so they can utilize its search capabilities.
Yes. Both.
There is only a selection of public trackers but the popular ones like 1337x, TPB, (formerly) Rarbg, etc. are there.
Really depends on what you need.
There’s no tagging support, but I’m not sure why I’d need tagging.
DHT crawling reveals pretty much every active public torrent, & finding what I want is just a matter of including it in the search terms.
“s04e10 2160p x265” brings up every torrent containing a file with s04e10, 2160p, & x265 in its filename.
I could foresee plenty of situations where tagging for quality, & for metadata beyond filenames & sizes, would be useful; I just haven’t actually had it come up.
Everything I need shows up on DHT search.
Well, except .STL files, but that seems to be because they’re given away for free so often there’s no impetus to make torrents of them?
Been using it for years, but i do agree it kinda sucks, and the giant cypto ad on the first screen is annoying. It is very easy to use, you can filter by top of day, week, etc and has a good search capability. I used to prefer btdb until that one got shut down, haven’t found a better site since.
Unfortunately, 1337x isn’t a known unsafe site since a cryptominer infected version of Baldur’s Gate 3 was uploaded with admins removing negative comments about the miner[1].
Go ahead and use it for media, but be diligent about any software[2]
To be clear, you should be diligent with all software downloads online, including authentic software purchases which may be intercepted through various means to distribute to you malware. In the case of 1337x, as the admins there are part of the malware distribution however, due diligence is especially necessary. ↩︎

I’m a simple man, I just search directly in qbittorrent.
Agreed, I have my jackett daemon wired up to qbittorrent and all is good!
I love qbittorent. I love that it’s in the Linux repo too.

Prowlarr and all my accounrs on trackers
Do you know a way to incorporate private trackers into search engines?
Literally the thing they said. Prowlarr.
Makes sense, sorry for the stupid question. Never used and *arr application before :)
No worries, welcome to the high seas.
Pick up your membership card!
This. Sometimes I’ll go to an actual torrent site for shits & grins but why go search on 1 site when I can search 50+ at once?
Exactly my thinking.
Every once I will visit my fav tracker just to break out of my bubble.
Why do I need to install this? Why can’t I just search online somewhere?

You can’t use public search engines for private trackers.
You can use public trackers in prowlarr and jackett
Pretty big plus for me.
Do you mean you can use private trackers in prowlarr and jackett? Just to clarify, since you wrote “public”.
Yes. Both.

It’s mainly used for automation within arr setups
Depending on the trackers no other solution can even come close
I wouldn’t rate it as a favorite at all, but I tend to use torrentz2.nz

Generally Jackett filters + eyeballs. Searching many engines beats any individual.
1337x.to 95% of the time, it has what I’m looking for.
