Jackett
This software creates a Torznab (with nZEDb category numbering) and TorrentPotato API server on your machine. Torznab enables software such as Sonarr to access data from your favorite indexers in a similar fashion to rss but with added features such as searching. TorrentPotato is an interface accessible to CouchPotato.
Jackett works as a proxy server: it translates Torznab queries into tracker-site-specific http queries, parses the html response into Torznab results, then sends results back to the requesting software which allows for getting recent uploads and performing searches.
We were previously focused on TV but are working on extending searches to allow for searching other items such as movies and comics.

Installation on Linux/OSX
- Install Mono 4 or better
- Install libcurl:
- Debian/Ubunutu: apt-get install libcurl-dev
- Redhat/Fedora: yum install libcurl-devel
- Or see the Curl docs.
Installation on Windows
We recommend you install Jackett as a Windows service using the supplied installer. When installed as a service the tray icon acts as a way to open/start/stop Jackett. If you opted to not install it as a service then Jackett will run its web server from the tray tool.
Jackett can also be run from the command line using JackettConsole.exe if you would like to see log messages (Ensure the server isn't already running from the tray/service).
Installation on Linux/OSX
Run Jackett using mono with the command "mono JackettConsole.exe".
Troubleshooting
- Command line switches
You can pass various options when running via the command line, see --help for details.
- Unable to connect to certain trackers on Linux
Try running with the "--SSLFix true" if you are on Redhat/Fedora/NNS based libcurl. If the tracker is currently configured try removing it and adding it again. Alternatively try running with a different client via --UseClient (Warning: safecurl just executes curl and your details may be seen from the process list).
- Enable logging
You can get additional logging with the switches "-t -l". Please post logs if you are unable to resolve your issue with these switches ensuring to remove your username/password/cookies.
Additional Trackers
Jackett's framework allows our team (and any other volunteering dev) to implement new trackers in an hour or two. If you'd like support for a new tracker then feel free to leave a request on the issues page or contact us on IRC (see below).
