        It makes a request to the thing that searches through lists of stuff (torrents-, Usenet-indexers), which then requests some downloader (like a torrenting client) to download the stuff you want.

        The whole servarr stack is pretty complicated but that also means it’s not a messy monolith.

        Yes. It has a convenient and easy to use interface for requestiong movies and shows. It then sends those requests to Sonarr, Radarr, who sent it to your torrent client and so on.

        I’m not sure I understand what you just said. It allows users to request movies or TV shows and shows them what your media player already has available. If you interested it with the arrs it will add it and optionally initiate a search. https://docs.seerr.dev/

          So… Seerr requests something (what? how?) to torrent stuff on your behalf?

            The *arr suite is a bunch of media management software that can integrate with different sites to download torrents. This lets your users (friends and family) request stuff to download without having access to your *arrs

                If you already pirate content, welcome to the rabbit hole that will simultaneously make your life way easier and way harder.

                So you run radarr to pickup movies and sonarr for shows, instead of having both open for all of your users, you just run jellyseerr and you and your users can use that to discover and send requests to the other *arrs
