lol I'm like 20 clicks into Sonarr's website and I still cant find a simple answer: what is Sonarr?
Some sites just assume you know. In short, thing that automates and streamlines series piracy. Radarr is for films, Lidarr for music, Readarr for book, Whisparr for porn, Prowlarr allows to better manage sources for all of the above.
Don’t forget about autobrr, for getting things as fast as electronically possible, increasing your seeding ratio to ungodly levels.
Wow, interesting! Thanks.
So is Prowlarr an alternative to Jackett? I've use Jackett before but it was (as best as I could understand) a way to translate different indexer URIs into a common format.
More or less, yes, they serve similar purposes.
Agreed. I found it a bit disappointing they skipped to the highlights without describing the big picture first. This is from their GitHub:
Took a buttload of Googling to just figure out what PVR stands for lol... and I'm still not sure I got it right. Seems like it's Personal Video Recording??
