To be clear, this is just a joke, and I don't look down on direct downloading. It absolutely has its place, and sometimes I do it myself if it's just faster to download a file directly. Torrenting is just so much more convenient, though, especially when using Jackett's manual search.

Yeah until jackett shits the bed and all of a sudden all indexers fail, and the "official fix" is to completely reinstall.

Edit: Don't downvote me, express your displeasure here and here. Tell 'em I sent ya.

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

Been using it for about a month-ish and it did it to me today, looked up the issue and github said reinstall. Now I can't use it until I do, but thankfully I just got on usenet so I can be lazy for a week or so.
