I see trackers there that have shut down officially and were 'revived' by unknown individuals, so be sure to wear a condom!

Good tip for my tip, thank you

only torrent software I'd recommend

and not just for this reason but also because you can run it headless over a webUI ... self hosting is an addiction

Also transmission which is also open source

Why do this instead of Jackett?

[–] Mordikan@kbin.earth 12 points 16 hours ago

Jackett I think is a better solution. There is a crazy amount of sources to search/select from and setting up the API key is just editing a file.

Jackett is one of the included plugins. I recently set it up on my machine alongside the other plugins as well.

Isn't jackett like a server thing?

great but how does the plugins for dodi and fitgirl repacks work, afaik they are not trackers but do upload on them?

They list their uploads it looks like

I've long preferred tixati but these might be fun to try. Repository explicitly warns about safety. Some fairly big names here that I imagine IPs could be checked against their websites? Anyone here vouch for any of the lesser known ones?
