Why do I need to install this? Why can't I just search online somewhere?
It's mainly used for automation within arr setups
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.
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.
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.
