I’m getting errors and I want to pick better indexers.

    I rarely have issues, but occasionally I see errors like these:

    All rss-capable indexers are temporarily unavailable due to recent indexer errors	
    Indexers unavailable due to failures: The Pirate Bay (Prowlarr)	
    All search-capable indexers are temporarily unavailable due to recent indexer errors	
    Indexers unavailable due to failures for more than 6 hours: RuTracker.RU (Prowlarr)
    

    Digging into the logs

    Warn|Torznab|API Request Limit reached for The Pirate Bay (Prowlarr). Disabled for 00:00:59
    
    |Warn|Torznab|API Request Limit reached for RuTracker.RU (Prowlarr). Disabled for 00:00:58
    

    Any recommendations to avoid API limits?

    I have EZTV

    1337 gave me an error. Are you using Flaresolverr?

    Unable to connect to indexer. This is typically caused by DNS/SSL issues. Check DNS settings, ensure IPv6 is working or disabled, consider using different DNS servers, or try a VPN/proxy if needed. See: 'https://wiki.servarr.com/prowlarr/troubleshooting#dns-ssl-connection-issues' An error occurred while sending the request.
    

    I don’t see therarbg in the list, and I see two for kickass: ‘kickasstorrents.to’ and ‘kickasstorrents.ws

      Nb I use prowler to manage my indexers and point sonar/radarr at prowler but similar options should be available though sonar And radar.

      You can limit the amount of queries and grabs your client will try per amount of time for each indexer. It is under advanced settings on the indexer page once you select an indexer.

      This isn’t really a problem when you are just downloading one or two series but is a problem when you first start out and are downloading everything under the sun. Try limiting to 10 queries and grabs per hour for now. Might be a good idea to pause all requests for 24 hours as well as your ip may be temporarily flagged.

      And yes I use flare solver for 1337

      I also vaguely remember needing to have an account on ru tracker to make it work but it was all in Russian, and no English option I think. I had to use the browser auto translate

      Use kickass.to, but they are just mirrors of each other.

      I’d recommend setting up prowler now so you don’t have to do it all twice and if you want to spin up another radar or sonar later it’s easy to cover all your indexers.

      Not sure about therarbg I can’t seem to add it either, despite having it as an active tracker.
