Pirate.py

Command line torrent downloader with Pushbullet notifications.

Default behavior parses HTML pages on ThePirateBay 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 links with --link.

Requirements

Client Side (pirate.py)

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.

3 external Python libraries needed. Please ensure the following are installed to the system:

  • transmissionrpc
  • requests
  • beautifulsoup4

If pip is installed, just run the following as root:

$ pip install transmissionrpc requests beautifulsoup4

Then edit the pirate.py file, and change the //rpcserver// variable to the server's IP/hostname (if not localhost)

Server Side (transmission-daemon)

Transmission-daemon needs to be installed for downloading torrents and TCP/9091 needs to be opened

//RHEL/CentOS/Fedora (yum pkg mgmt)//

$ yum install transmission-daemon transmission-cli 
$ firewall-cmd --add-port=9091/tcp --permanent

//Debian/Ubuntu (apt pkg mgmt)//

$ apt-get install transmission-daemon transmission-cli
$ iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 9091 -j ACCEPT

pushbullet.py is needed for Pushbullet notifications.

$ pip install pushbullet.py

Put your PushBullet API key in ~/pb_api.txt and set a cron job to run //pirate-remote.py// every X minutes.

Make sure the server running Transmission (if not localhost) is accepting traffic on TCP/9091, and RPC is enabled in the Transmission settings.json file. Read about configuring Transmission here.

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

TODO

  • Refactor code; not a fan of the spaghetti code functions
  • Comment script better; for personal reasons. I hate being confused 6 months later
  • Pushbullet read/download new torrents
