pirate-get is a convenient command line tool (inspired by APT) to speed up your trip to the Pirate Bay and get your completely legal torrents more quickly.

Tested on Arch Linux mostly. It should work on any other Linux too. Let me know if it doesn't. Also tested on OSX (whatever the latest one is - I don't know; I don't use non-free operating systems.) --local option hasn't been tested recently.
