Over the last year, most of my search plug-ins have stopped returning any results. Now only The Pirate Bay plug-in still works.

Any recommendations for working plug-ins for general purpose public torrent / magnet sites?

IIRC some plugins stopped returning results through the VPN interface that qbittorrent was bound to. I moved on to other methods.

Have a look at Jackett. You search as many public indexers as you as you add to it simultaneously and the pkugin works perfectly with qbit search. Right click a result to add it right to the download queue.

Thanks!

I got Jackett plugin working in qBittorrent for a few indexers (e.g. TPB, Knaben), but 1337x returns an error, with a message that takes me to a page that doesn't explain what the problem is or how to fix it.

Anyone know how to fix that?

No VPN.

I have to use flaresolverrr with 1337x otherwise it just fails

Just check if your plugins got an update on the github list?

Thanks for that info!

Probably worth noting that FlareSolverr hasn’t actually worked to bypass Cloudflare in a while. They got noticed by CF, and CF started actively preventing their solvers from working. However, several trackers still require FlareSolverr to run before they’ll even try to connect.

In some cases, you can visit the site directly, and then manually solve the CF captcha. That will usually allow it to work, even when Solverr is broken.
