I'm a bit surprised to see so many torrent posts. Are most people still using Torrents? Are most piracy users aware of programs like sonarr or radarr?

Not OP but: they are apps to schedule automatic downloads. Like Star Trek Strange New Worlds but don't wanna go every week and download it manually? Set it up in Sonarr and when you wake up the new episodes are waiting for you. Radarr is the same for film, prowlarr for aggregating torrent trackers all in 1 spot, bazarr for subtitles, and there's a few others. Can also be set up with usenet in addition to torrents.

is prowlarr better than jackett? Is it wise to invest some time to migrate?

Yeah I switched after Jackett kept having issues with RARBG before they shut down. The biggest change is the fact that adding a tracker to Prowlarr will automatically add it to radarr, sonarr, and the like rather than having to duplicate everything manually yourself.

I did, it was very little time to invest, and it's pretty cool that it integrates to sonarr & radarr and sync's your configuration from a central place. Also the web UI seems to have more information and stats if you ever need.

Jackett is for trackers that don't have a native api or similar but Prowlarr can likely handle most of what you use today.
