Does this actually work? There are only three torrents and I don't recognize any of them

When I use it sometimes. Depends on how your ISP does IP addresses. If you have no idea what the torrents are I'm guess you don't have a static IP.

update: it appears to work!

Not be "that guy", but new pirates beware: Jackett doesn't work for everybody

I've been using jackett for years without a problem, what's the pitfalls?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

For me, I thought I could get around torrent sites blocking by my ISP with jackett. But I was wrong. I still needed a VPN.

For me? I installed it and set it up according to the instructions, didn't work. Reported it, got tech support, still doesn't work. And I never got a good reason why, just that "it always works."

Most people love it, so I'm not saying its not great. Just that all I get is errors

Are the indexers (torrent sites) you are trying to add to jackett blocked by your ISP? If so, they won't work in jackett without a VPN, just like how they won't open in a browser without a VPN.
