Error message
Got No Torrents Found! Make sure your IPTorrents profile config contain proper default category settings.
What it means
Thrown by IPTorrents.PerformQuery when no explicit search term or IMDb ID is provided and the page contains the literal text 'No Torrents Found!'. With no query filter, IPTorrents should always show the default browse list; seeing the empty-state message means the account's default category profile on the website is misconfigured (empty or invalid categories), so the browse page renders nothing.

Solutions
- Log in to IPTorrents, go to Settings, and set at least one valid default category for the browse page.
- Wait one minute for the site cache to refresh after changing category settings.
- Re-test the indexer in Jackett with a specific search term to confirm results return.
- If searching works but empty queries do not, the default category config is confirmed as the cause.
Defensive patterns
Strategy: validation
Try / catch
try
{
var releases = await indexer.PerformQuery(query);
}
catch (Exception ex) when (ex.Message.Contains("No Torrents Found"))
{
// Only fires for empty/default queries — account's default categories are wrong
logger.Error("IPTorrents default category issue: {Message}", ex.Message);
// Instruct user to fix website profile settings
} Prevention
- On the IPTorrents website, set at least one valid default category in profile settings.
- Use specific search terms in Jackett to avoid hitting the empty-default-query path.
- Re-check default categories after IPTorrents site updates (they may reset).
- Wait one minute after changing category settings for the cache to refresh.
When it happens
Trigger: A manual/empty TorznabQuery hits IPTorrents, and the account's website-side 'default categories' setting is empty or references nonexistent categories, so the browse page shows 'No Torrents Found!' instead of torrents.
Common situations: The IPTorrents profile's default category list was cleared or never set; categories were renamed/removed by the site; the user's account class restricts certain categories and the default set only includes restricted ones.
