Torcl

Torcl is a command line interface to search and download torrent files. It's written in bash and relies on edbrowse and aria2c.

Prerequisites

edbrowse http://the-brannons.com/edbrowse/

aria2c http://aria2.sourceforge.net/

Installation

Put torcl somewhere on your path and make it executable. Something like this:

cp torcl $HOME/bin/

chmod +x $HOME/bin/torcl

Usage

Run torcl

Type 'search {search terms}' to search for torrents. The list will be output with some numbers on the left. The source is isohunt.com.

Type 'download {number}' to download the relevant torrent. Give it a second to finish it.

Type 'torrent' to begin downloading from the torrent file you just grabbed.

Type 'help', or anything else, to print a short usage message.

Press "ctrl-c" to exit. Torcl does clean up after itself, deleting temporary files and killing sub-processes.

Todo

  • Check for the prerequisite programs
  • Cleanup the output
  • Add sources other than isohunt
