Prowlarr - Index Search Manager¶

Prowlarr is a indexer manager/proxy built on the popular arr .net/reactjs base stack to integrate with your various PVR apps. Prowlarr supports both Torrent Trackers and Usenet Indexers. It integrates seamlessly with Sonarr, Radarr, Lidarr, Readarr, and Whisparr offering complete management of your indexers with no per app Indexer setup required (Prowlarr does it all).

If this is the first time using Prowlarr, you will be presented with an Authentication Required dialog, as Prowlarr now allows admins to prevent unauthorised access to the application.

Add the qBittorrent download client to Prowlarr: Prowlarr → Settings → Download Clients.

Scroll down the bottom of the Edit Download Client dialog box and press the + (plus) button in Mapped Categories to map multiple categories into your main download categories.

Add each of the Download Client Categories listed in the table below, and select the tick boxes next to each of the Mapped Categories to set up the automatic download mappings.

Add *ARR applications: Prowlarr → Settings → Apps then add each of the applications.
