magnet

a simple bash script which fetches selected torrent's magnet link and downloads using qbittorrent.

check Bugswriter's notflix if you want to stream directly rather than downloading. (I copied half of the code from notflix :P)

NOTE: it requires qbittorrent & dialog to run and uses GNU Core Utilities commands grep, awk, sed, paste etc.

pacman -S dialog qbittorrent
apt install dialog qbittorrent

Installing

For the current user:

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/shivajichalise/magnet/main/magnet > ~/usr/local/bin/magnet && chmod +755 ~/usr/local/bin/magnet

Or simply copy the magnet file to a location in your $PATH and make it executable.

Usage

• run magnet <search-query> or just magnet
• if asked for input give appropriate input
• choose from given options
• torrent client will open; select required files and hit start

How it works

this script scrapes 1337x.to and gets the magnet link and then opens qbittorrent to download
