Pirate

Command line HTML parser/scraper used for grabbing torrents from ThePirateBay. Downloads torrents using command line program, transmission-daemon.

Initially made for the older version with torrents hosted from a separate subdomain, but now modified for grabbing magnet links instead.

Requirements

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.

This script depends on 3 external Python libraries. Please ensure the following are installed to the system:

  • transmissionrpc
  • requests
  • beautifulsoup4

If pip is installed, just run:

pip install transmissionrpc requests beautifulsoup4

Usage

Place the script somewhere in your executable path. I like ~/bin

$ mkdir ~/bin
$ echo 'PATH=$PATH:~/bin' >> ~/.bashrc && source ~/.bashrc
$ cp pirate/pirate.py ~/bin

Then just run it

$ pirate.py

The rest is self explanatory
