# pirate-get
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
Make sure you have python 2 installed.
|
|
|
|
Run install.sh
|
|
|
|
If you're using Arch Linux there's a package avalaible at the AUR:
|
|
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pirate-get-git/
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
usage: pirate-get.py [-h] [-c category] [-R] [-l] [-t] [--custom COMMAND]
|
|
[--local DATABASE] [-p PAGES] [-0] [-a] [--color]
|
|
[search [search ...]]
|
|
|
|
Finds and downloads torrents from the Pirate Bay
|
|
|
|
positional arguments:
|
|
search Term to search for
|
|
|
|
optional arguments:
|
|
-h, --help show this help message and exit
|
|
-c category Specify a category to search
|
|
-R Torrents uploaded in the last 48hours. *ignored in
|
|

|
|
-l List categories
|
|
-t call transmission-remote to start the download
|
|
--custom COMMAND call custom command, %s will be replaced with the url
|
|
--local DATABASE An xml file containing the Pirate Bay database
|
|
-p PAGES The number of pages to fetch (doesn't work with --local)
|
|
-0 choose the top result
|
|
-a download all results
|
|
--color use colored output
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Configuration file
|
|
|
|
pirate-get will check to see if `$HOME/.config/pirate-get/pirate.cfg` exists. If it does it will use it as its default configuration settings.
|
|
|
|
### SaveToFile
|
|
|
|
**Currently this is the only way to save magnet urls to a file**
|
|
|
|
A config file would look something like:
|
|
|
|
```INI
|
|
[SaveToFile]
|
|
enabled = true
|
|
directory = ~/Dropbox/pirate-get/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Notes
|
|
|
|
If you want to use a local copy of the Pirate Bay database download a copy here (or wherever the latest version is currently):
