I've been using Jackett for torrents recently. It seems to work really well if anyone is looking for alternatives.

Doesn't Jackett still need trackers such as Rarbg to function?

Yes - Jackett is just a search aggregator for multiple selected torrent indexers

Yes, but Rarbg was both a tracker and a popular torrent search site.

Out of the box Jackett supports many popular public trackers like 1337x and you can configure private trackers too.

Prowlarr is another alternative

Interestingly (or not), I avoided prowlarr because it didn't cache results, which triggered rarbg's rate limiter.

Well it took rarbg going down for me to see that they actually started caching results for rarbg in the latest release... Too bad.
