Indexer proxy API for torrent and usenet trackers

github.com/Jackett/Jackett ↗

Jackett ships a daily build to keep hundreds of torrent indexers working as sites move and close.

torrent indexersopen sourcemedia automationmaintenance
◆Current state
Jackett is an open-source proxy that turns hundreds of torrent tracker sites into a single Torznab API for media automation tools. It ships an auto-generated release roughly every day, and nearly every one is indexer upkeep: new domains, category mappings, selector fixes after site redesigns, and removing dead trackers.
◆Where it's heading
The work is entirely maintenance. Its value depends on keeping up with a tracker ecosystem where sites change domains and layouts weekly. Where possible, the project is moving definitions to sturdier integrations, such as switching world-of-tomorrow to its Torznab API and retiring trackers that moved to direct downloads.
◆Prediction
Expect the daily cadence to continue, with more trackers moved to API-based definitions and more dead sites removed. Core changes stay rare.
