autobrr

autobrr is a modern download automation platform designed for torrents and usenet with real-time IRC monitoring capabilities. Built as the next generation of tools like autodl-irssi, it monitors indexer IRC channels where new torrents are announced instantly upon upload, grabbing files based on configured filters and forwarding them to download clients automatically. The platform consolidates functionality from multiple legacy tools into a single, efficient solution that handles the entire automation workflow from announcement detection to download client delivery.

Common Use Cases

Media enthusiasts use autobrr to automatically grab new movie and TV show releases from private trackers the moment they're announced, ensuring first access to high-quality content before it becomes heavily seeded. Home media server operators integrate autobrr with Radarr and Sonarr to create fully automated content acquisition pipelines that monitor multiple indexers simultaneously and route downloads to appropriate download clients. Private tracker power users leverage autobrr's real-time IRC monitoring to maintain ratio requirements by snatching freeleech torrents and popular releases immediately upon announcement. Data hoarders employ autobrr to monitor usenet indexers and private trackers for specific content patterns, automatically downloading releases that match complex filter criteria across multiple sources.
