To be clear, this is just a joke, and I don't look down on direct downloading. It absolutely has its place, and sometimes I do it myself if it's just faster to download a file directly. Torrenting is just so much more convenient, though, especially when using Jackett's manual search.

I NEVER managed to make Jackett's plugin work in my qBbittorent. No matter how many tutorials I follow x)

You probably have, but did you follow the official configuration tutorial?

I had no trouble setting it up before. Seemed very easy to me. Where are you getting stuck in the process?

Alternatively, you could just search directly in Jackett's interface with the "manual search" option. That's what I do. I find it preferable to setting it up with the Qbit search engine since Jackett's search has more features.

I'm far from home on vacation, so I can't answer precisely, but yeah, I followed the official tutorial. Can't remember the error though, but I'm close to making it work. It just gets stuck for whatever reason. Maybe that's because I use qBbittorent in a docker container, don't know.

So yes, I use the manual search when I need something very specific, which I'd rather do from qbit. Otherwise, I use all the *arr suite for my audiovisual needs. Pretty nice and painless.

Thanks for answering and for giving the link :)
