# The Pirate
|
|
|
|
#####Command line torrent downloader with [Pushbullet](https://pushbullet.com) notifications.
|
|
|
|
Add torrents to your Transmission download queue from anywhere, either via Pushbullet magnet link push or [remote procedure calls](https://trac.transmissionbt.com/wiki/rpc) direct to the machine.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Default behavior parses HTML pages on [ThePirateBay](https://thepiratebay.org) based on a search string provided, then passes the magnet link to a locally running Transmission-Daemon (localhost or same LAN).
|
|
|
|
Can also add direct HTML pages of the desired torrent with --url, and direct magnet links and torrent files with --file.
|
|
|
|
This script was written in Python version 2.7. Version 3 compatibility requires rewriting some code, and may be done at a later time. Pull requests welcome.

|
### Requirements
|
|
|
|
2 Parter. Either do it all on localhost, or configure a second machine for headless management.
|
|
|
|
* Client setup
|
|
* Server setup
|
|
|
|
## Client Side
|
|
|
|
3 external Python libraries needed. Please ensure the following are installed to the system
|
|
|
|
* transmissionrpc
|
|
* requests
|
|
* beautifulsoup4
|
|
|
|
> TIP: If pip is installed, just run the following as root:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then edit the thepirate.py file, and change the __rpcserver__ variable to the server's IP/hostname (if not localhost)
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ vim thepirate.py
|
|
# edit line 30, rpcserver variable
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Server Side
|
|
|
|
### Transmission
|
|
|
|
Transmission-daemon needs to be installed for downloading torrents.
|
|
|
|
RHEL/CentOS/Fedora (yum)
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ yum install transmission-daemon transmission-cli
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Debian/Ubuntu (apt)
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ apt-get install transmission-daemon transmission-cli
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Make sure the server running Transmission (if not localhost) is accepting traffic on port 9091/tcp and RPC is enabled in the Transmission settings.json file. Set your whitelist to your LAN subnet. Read about configuring Transmission [here](https://trac.transmissionbt.com/wiki/EditConfigFiles).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Firewall
|
|
|
|
Open up the Transmission port if the server is not localhost.
|
|
|
|
Firewalld
|
|
```
|
|
$ firewall-cmd --add-port=9091/tcp --permanent
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
IPTables
|
|
```
|
|
$ iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 9091 -j ACCEPT
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### thepirate-satellite
|
|
|
|
[pushbullet.py](https://github.com/randomchars/pushbullet.py) is needed for Pushbullet notifications. You also need transmissionrpc on the server side so it can clear completed torrents.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Put your PushBullet API key in the api variable in the script and set a cron job to run thepirate-satellite.py every X minutes.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ vim thepirate-satellite.py
|
|
# edit line 26, variable api
|
|
$ crontab cron.txt
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Usage
|
|
|
|
Place the script somewhere in your executable path. I like ~/bin
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ mkdir ~/bin
|
|
$ echo 'PATH=$PATH:~/bin' >> ~/.bashrc && source ~/.bashrc
|
|
$ cp pirate/thepirate.py ~/bin/thepirate
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then just run it. Supplying no arguments gives you a prompt.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Or supply a search string with the -s flag
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You could even just supply the URL
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Check your queue
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Away from home? If you hooked up thepirate-satellite on a cron job, you can send a magnet link as a push. It will be picked up by the satellite script and added to your queue.

#### TODO
|
|
|
|
* Comment script better; for personal reasons. I hate being confused 6 months later
|
|
* Pushbullet read/download new torrents
|
|
* Add config file support
|
|
* Auto updater
|
|
* Daily tally of script info (downloads, bandwidth, uploads, etc)
|
