Search several torrent sites for torrents and download one or more of them at once using only the terminal. For example searching for specific episodes from a series using regex as a filter.
Note that this doesn’t actually download the files that the torrent contains, only the .torrent file.
Supports both magnet links and regular .torrent files.
Python2 is not supported.

optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-r REGEX_STRING, --regex_string REGEX_STRING
If necessary, filter the list of torrents down with a
regex string
-x, --pretend
-p PAGES, --pages PAGES
-d DOWNLOAD_DIR, --download_dir DOWNLOAD_DIR
--username [USERNAME]
--password [PASSWORD]
The -x parameter is set so the torrents doesn’t actually download, it will only print out information about the torrents that were found with the search criteria.
mtorrentd deildu 'Mr Robot s02' --username <username> --password <password> -x
mtorrentd thepiratebay 'Mr Robot s02' -x
To download torrents remove the -x parameter. Also set the directory the torrents should be downloaded to in config.yaml.
The -p parameter overrides the default maximum page count of 100.
mtorrentd thepiratebay 'Mr Robot ' -x -p 5
The -r parameter is for regex and will restrict the found torrents based on it. Regex defaults to ignore case in mtorrentd.
mtorrentd thepiratebay 'Mr Robot' -x -r '.*s02.*'
Override the download directory.
mtorrentd thepiratebay 'Mr Robot' -d ~/.my_torrents
Under each site these are the options that can be configured:
login_required (required)
username
password
login_path
page_path (required)
page_start
search_path (required)
append_path
url (required)
Configurable options:
watch_dir
Get it from the AUR in Archlinux.
python-setuptools required.
python3 setup.py install
setup.py does not install libtorrent which means it must be installed manually with your package manager.
Arch Linux:
pacman: pacman -S libtorrent-rasterbar
Other distributions should be similar.
It’s also possible to run directly from ./mtorrentd.py just make sure dependencies are installed.
- pyyaml
- requests
- bs4
- libtorrent
