I've really want some adoption, I suggest you upload a PKGBUILD to the AUR.
P.S. I'm not a 100% fan of these forms of advertisement (seeing how it's also CC'd to the ubuntu mailing list)
except KeyboardInterrupt: print("\nAborted!\n") sys.exit()
Don't check if your eyes may bleed from imposter code.

Howdy, I'm glad there's now something other than rtorrent. Rtorrent works usually, but there are some torrents that just refuse to work with it, hopefully this new, in development CLI tool will fil in the gap. Are you planning to make a PKGBUILD for it in the AUR, or do you want someone else to do it? Storm On Mon, Jul 24, 2017 at 01:45:17PM -0400, Arch Linux General wrote:

The software is not a torrent client, only a "search interface" that comes in html or command line output. Output itself is not rendered using any rendering enginge but string addition (str.__add__). I haven't exactly figured out what it actually does just yet, but it's not what you've been looking for.
Regarding torrent clients, I'm actually pretty happy with extra/transmission-cli's transmission-daemon.

you might want to take a look at aria2c.
lftp with torrent command used inside has been known to work too.

Hi there, I'm not sure if the PKGBUILD will be accepted in AUR. I had once posted a thread in open-source contributions in arch formus, but was taken down due to legal issues (end of the day, TPB is illegal :P). So I didn't put effort in building PKGBUILD. That's the ONLY reason I posted about it here.
Also, it's not a torrent client. It just scraps thepiratebay proxy sites, and displays results in console window. -------- Original Message -------- On 24 Jul 2017, 23:55, Storm Dragon via arch-general wrote:

As far as I know, thepiratebay.org by itself is not illegal, only much but not all of the _linked_ content. As an example, you can most likely find a torrent-link for an Arch ISO.

Probably worth noting that this defense breaks down when the project README specifically calls out high-profile illegal content as usage examples, though. :p
Although the AUR *still* has that torrent client which is specifically designed to stream pirated movies via torrents, so I dunno.
(I honestly thought that that was deleted, but I just checked and it's still listed in the AUR!)
No logic here. Don't know what was I thinking last night that I posted about this project here (stupid me!). I do regret posting it. Won't happen again.

Because if the AUR, and the forums, don't allow it, then it is better to use the mailing list run by the same organization... because why?
This seems like questionable logic.
That being said, we have bittorrent clients available in the offical repos and the AUR, and e.g. qbittorrent (in [community]) comes with a builtin search indexer that searches thepiratebay among several other sites.

Dang. I was hoping to switch to rTorrent. Thank you for the word of caution. Are you able to provide any example files or magnet links that rTorrent fails to process?
I've gone from Transmission to Deluge to qBittorrent, and they all suck for various reasons. If I could combine the stability of Transmission with the robustness of qBittorrent and Deluge's sane handling of untracked files and partial downloads... then we might be in business.
