Help with Sonarr / Jackett please

[daveza]

My boss is trying to set up Sickbeard for automatic torrent downloads.

The sites I use are 1337x.to, Pirate Bay and eztv.re - but none of these are available as options under Configuration/ Search providers.

The ones that are on offer are all sites that require authentication.

Is it possible to use non-authenticated sites ?

We don't use Sickbeard anymore, we use Sonarr and we use Sonarr with Jackett.

 

[daveza]

That's what I told him.

So will Sonarr allow him to use non-authenticated torrent sites as a source ?

A couple yes.

But for those that don't it's what Jackett specifically does. Adds unsupported sites.

RarBG is really all you need.

Jackett has all the sites you listed.

 

[daveza]

thanks - advised accordingly.

Sigh, does anyone have a link to a simple step by step to setting up Sonarr with Jackett please ...?

You install Sonarr and you install Jackett then you go to the Jackett webui and choose add indexer you will then see it on the main menu where you click copy Torznab Feed. Now you go to Sonarr - settings - indexers and you click add and choose Torznab custom and you paste the copied URL, now you go back to your Jackett tab and copy the API key at the top and paste that into the API field.

There is this but things don't look exactly like that anymore:

Appreciated.

Can you use Sonarr just with torrents ( no nzbs ) and do you need to subscribe to anything ?

I use Sonarr with just torrents, and if you use a public tracker you wouldn't pay for anything.

Thought I'd give jackett a try - wife is always moaning she's missing Ellen
Any recommended indexers besides the ones listed in this thread?

You don't need more than that, Lime and Galaxy are also pretty good.
