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.

I checked every publicly available tracker, and only one was blocked if I remember right

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.

Do torrents still show up here?
iknowwhatyoudownload.com
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!
Lemmy.ml for piracy? Don’t make me laugh.
