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 (works fine on yosemite) --local option hasn't been tested recently.

Installation

Make sure you have python 3 installed. Requires colorama for colored output.

If you're using Arch Linux there's a package avalaible at the AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pirate-get-git/

Usage

See pirate-get -h for help

Configuration file

You can use a file to override pirate-get's default settings.
Default is $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/pirate-get. If it does not exist then $HOME/.config/pirate-get.

SaveToFile

Currently this is the only way to save magnet urls to a file

A config file would look something like:

[SaveToFile]
enabled = true
directory = ~/downloads/pirate-get/

Notes
