TorrentPotato is an interface accessible to [CouchPotato](https://couchpota.to/). + Jackett works as a proxy server: it translates queries from apps (Sonarr, SickRage, CouchPotato, Mylar, etc) into tracker-site-specific http queries, parses the html response, then sends results back to the requesting software. This allows for getting recent uploads (like RSS) and performing searches. Jackett is a single repository of maintained indexer scraping & translation logic - removing the burden from other apps. We were previously focused on TV but are working on extending searches to allow for searching other items such as movies, comics, and music. -#### Download -Download in the [Releases page](https://github.com/zone117x/Jackett/releases) #### Supported Systems * Windows using .NET 4.5
