## What it is
autobrr is a self-hosted download automation tool for torrents and Usenet, written in Go with a built-in web UI. It monitors IRC announce channels and RSS/Torznab/Newznab feeds in real time, filters releases, and sends them to download clients like qBittorrent, Deluge, Transmission, SABnzbd, or *arr apps.

## Use cases
- grab torrents from IRC announce channels the moment they are released
- automate downloads to beat RSS-based tools to the initial swarm
- filter releases by rules and forward them to Sonarr or Radarr
- send torrents directly to qBittorrent, Deluge, rTorrent, or Transmission
- monitor usenet indexers via newznab and push nzbs to SABnzbd
- replace autodl-irssi with a modern web-based alternative
- self-host download automation on a seedbox or home server

## When to choose
- you need real-time IRC announce-based grabbing that RSS feeds are too slow for
- you want one tool combining autodl-irssi, trackarr, and flexget features
- you run a seedbox or media server stack with *arr apps and want faster grabs
- you want a web UI, Docker support, and cross-platform single-binary deployment

## When to avoid
- you only need simple scheduled RSS downloading without real-time announces
- you want a fully automated media manager that decides what to download (use Radarr/Sonarr for that)
- you cannot run a persistent background service or Docker container
