If we recommend you a tracker tracker, soon enough you'll just be back asking for a tracker tracker tracker. When does it end?!

JUST ONE MORE TRACKER TRACKER BRO I SWEAR BRO JUST ONE MORE, I SWEAR
It just Because i'm a multi-lang Family... 3 trackers per language thats 9 trackers to keep watch for... It gets kinda messy to keep an eye on everything...
Always have a backup tracker in case something happens on one of them...
I guess having only 2 main trackers is easy but thats not the case for everyone :/
prowlarr?
Prowlarr and Jackett are the top two ones I know of.
I use linkwarden to keep organized bookmarks.
Someone else mentioned prowlarr though and that's a good option for this specifically
I have a folder in Firefox bookmarks. Once a month or so I open all folder bookmarks in tabs. This way I avoid bans because inactivity.
Trackers that only count login activity are so annoying. Just count my damn active seeding and using your API already!
I feel you ://
Nice tip ! How do you auth ? Every tab one by one ? I guess this can't be automated but nice hint :))
You could try bitwarden as your list instead (still not fully automated but it should auto fill)
Most of them keep the session open with cookies. For the others I use a password manager and login one by one.
Anything you manually do in a browser can be automated with Puppeteer!
If you mean torrent?
Prowlarr/Jackett
Or just read all rules and then check what the min. visit rules say.
