Very good choice for a mobile browser based on Firefox. I’ve been using Iceraven on my phone for some years now and it’s definitely better than default mobile Firefox. I’m sure you’ll like it.

Thank you! :)

Piped is a website. Newpipe is an app. Both are front-ends for youtube, but obviously non-mobile users cannot access youtube videos on Newpipe when browsing on their computer. While they both serve more or less the same purpose (serving youtube videos without youtube’s tracking), they are fundamentally different in how they accomplish this.

Huh, it works on my end. I tested it just the other day.

Finally, someone speaking sense on a piracy community. So many people around these communities constantly push the .arr suite without ever mentioning that it just isn’t worth the time or resources to set up for a single individual watching on their personal computer lol. It honestly gets really grating after a while. It’s like you said, these programs are best utilized by media collectors and people serving media to groups of users, like a family. For most average users, Stremio with the Torrentio plug-in is all they need.

They handle the downloading, extraction, categorising and naming of the media you want and they can do that automatically.

I’m good with handling this manually, or rather, I don’t even have to handle any of this since Stremio takes care of it, and I have neither the hard drive space nor the bandwidth to devote toward allowing a bunch of programs to just start downloading large files perpetually in the background, filling up my hard drive and taking up all my bandwidth lol. The .arr suite is best combined with a seedbox and a dedicated computer. All I have is a 1.5 TB hard drive and no gigabit internet speeds.

And honestly, I don’t see what appreciable amount of “time and effort” this is going to save for me. With Stremio, it’s as easy as going into the catalog (or using the search bar), clicking a movie, and picking one of the releases from the menu. If I wanna watch a show or movie that isn’t out yet or whose upcoming season is yet to be released, I can just add it to my library and turn on notifications.

It doesn’t get any easier than that, doesn’t require a massive hassle with a set-up process involving several different programs and trial and error, and I don’t have to devote hard drive space for every show or movie I want to watch, since Stremio keeps files on a temporary cache that gets deleted at regular intervals, so it doesn’t end up filling my hard drive. This system is perfect for me, I have no reason to change it.

As I mentioned in a different comment here, I’m already familiar with the arr suite. It’s how I found Jackett in the first place, and I’ve already determined that setting up the .arr programs isn’t worth it for me. Stremio suits me just fine, the .arr programs appear to be better suited toward those with the time and money to setup a whole dedicated server for their media needs. I only consume media on my personal computer, so I have no need for that.

I have tried Prowlarr though, just yesterday in fact. I didn’t really find its manual search feature to be any better than Jackett’s, and in fact it had some issues. In any case, since I don’t use the .arr programs, I’ve no reason to switch. Thanks for the suggestion though.

I’m not sure if they have an android version of Jackett. It would be a dream come true if that were the case, but I’m sure it would be listed in the Jackett github page if a mobile version was available. Sadly, there’s no mention if anything like that on the github page.

Really glad to hear you were able to get Jackett working, though! It really is an amazing program.

See, I was hoping this meme would inform at least one person that Qbittorrent comes with an in-built search engine. That’s how I found out about it in the first place, through a meme lol

Jackett doesn’t require a VPN to use? Unless you mean torrents in general, in which case yeah, you do kinda need a VPN for those if you live in a country that prosecutes torrenting. Fortunately, you can just direct download stuff in that case.

You probably have, but did you follow the official configuration tutorial?

I had no trouble setting it up before. Seemed very easy to me. Where are you getting stuck in the process?

Alternatively, you could just search directly in Jackett’s interface with the “manual search” option. That’s what I do. I find it preferable to setting it up with the Qbit search engine since Jackett’s search has more features.

I don’t use .arr programs, so not really, lol. At least not in my case, anyway. Stremio fills the niche for all my media needs quite nicely, and Qbit and Jackett cover everything else.

Edit: Really, downvoting someone for using Stremio instead of the .arr suite? Lol. Stay classy, c/Piracy.

This has happened to me with my own bank sometimes, though thankfully all I have to do is call them, report the blocked payment, and answer the same useless questions that don’t really prove anything security-wise, and that’s it. I’m not sure why they insist on doing this song and dance, but at least I don’t have to drive all the way to one of their locations to get it resolved, lol.

No problem.

Gotta say, in over 2 years of using this program, I’ve never had that happen even once.

I don’t torrent on mobile, so I have no idea if a mobile equivalent to this exists, sorry.

I think you may have replied to the wrong post? At least you still received an answer, though, lol.

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 actually have done that, but Qbit’s built-in search doesn’t have the same search filtering options. For instance, I can’t sort torrents by upload date on the Qbit web-ui (this is the most important missing feature, imo), or set it to only search certain indexers and not others, and it has no category related options. It has the essentials, but the Jackett interface is just cleaner and more feature rich in my opinion. That’s why I stopped using the Qbit search engine in favor of Jackett.
