jackett (by the way thanks to those suggesting it here!) lists hundreds of indexers… but how to choose which ones to focus on? Is there an updated repository with some stats and indexing by category, popularity and easiness of access, or forums with reviews? Some basic google searches provide SEO optimized pages listing some of the most popular ones but was wondering whether there was some “insider” “awesome-torrent” repo with this kind of info, thanks!

    torrents-csv.ml is excellent. It’s a compiled database of other torrent sites that is pruned of unseeded torrents. It usually has what I need except for new releases, as they aren’t added immediately.

    Side note: Jackett is nice but Prowlarr is better. Jackett development has stopped. Prowlarr is a little bit more feature rich and can automatically add indexers to Sonarr and Radarr.

      Thanks, I’ll keep that in mind! On the side note, why do you say Jackett dev has stopped? The last release on github is 16h ago. Also, I am still a bit old fashioned here, and haven’t entered the *rr world yet!

        Ah, maybe it’s started up again.

        I prefer Prowlarr because the UI is just like Sonarr and Radarr and it can synchronize your indexers to Sonarr and Radarr

          I do like Prowlarr for management of indexers across the *arr apps, but for some reason I prefer the Jackett search much more. I think part of it is the sub-search within the results, or something else about the UI.
