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.

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.

Jackett shows if torrent is freeleech. Prowlarr doesnt. Shame because prowlarr is more reliable

Prowlarr properly shows if a torrent is freeleech for me. Maybe the feature was added after you tried it?
