If you like the project, star it on GitHub.

How to add a new Indexer

You could get the Jackett RSS Feed Url using the action button in Indexers list:

Then paste the Url in the chat like /add AnyTitle Pasted_RSSFeedURL and send the message. The bot will reply with the result.

How to use Blackhole

Blackhole folder is a monitored folder that your Torrent client checks to look for .torrent files and then download them automatically.

First, you must read the documentation of the Torrent client to make sure is supported and simply configure it to point to the blackhole folder created by Jackett2Telegram.

When a new release is showed in Telegram, a Blackhole button could be pressed and download the .torrent file locally, then Torrent client use it.

If you use the Docker installation, make a bind between folders.
