torge

A shell script for searching for links on torrent sites.

example

Supported sites

thepiratebay
limetorrents
rarbg (as for now getting magnet link is being blocked by cloudflare)
nyaa
1337x
libgen

Requirements

reliq
xclip or xsel (optional, used for clipboard)
jq (optional, used for --json option)

Installation

install -m 755 torge /usr/bin

AUR

yay -S torge

Aliases

It's quite beneficial to alias sites in your config to avoid needless typing, here's a list of proposed ones:

alias tpb='torge tpb'
alias libgen='torge libgen'
alias limetorrents='torge lt'
alias nyaa='torge nyaa'
alias 1337x='torge 1337x'
alias rarbg='torge rarbg'

Usage

Just type 'torge source your search', choose what you want and the link will be copied to your clipboard. You can choose multiple results by separating their line number with space.

Note that some options are specific to certain sites (like sorting), you can read about it by typing

torge SOURCE -h

Universal options are described in

torge -h

Search sorting by date

torge 1337x -s date iso

Search for the smallest linux isos on thepiratebay

torge tpb -s size -r linux iso

Search different domain for linux isos and change delimiter to space

torge tpb -D ' ' -d 'http://otherdomain.to' 'linux iso'

Search for the biggest lossless audio

torge nyaa -c audio-lossless -s size audio

Search for scientific articles about evolution on 2nd page

torge libgen -p 2 -m science evolution

Search for Lovecraft's fiction in pdf format

torge libgen -F pdf -m fiction lovecraft

Search search for 'The Road to Serfdom' ordered by size, reversed

torge libgen -r -o size the road to serfdom

Show only name, seeds and date searching for linux

torge limetorrents -a name,seeds,date linux

Output search results in csv (by default delimited by \t, can be changed with -D option)

torge SOURCE --csv -D '\t' your search query

The first line printed will be a csv header unless --no-csv-header option is used.

Note that most sites do not store magnet links in search pages and by default the above returns whatever links it finds. If you want to ensure that you get magnet links (or links in case of libgen) use --link-conv option with --csv. Although there will be noticable delay as this will go through all pages (but only if necessary).

Output serch results in json (--link-conv also works with it)

torge SOURCE --json your search query

Resulting json will have link field being search page from which results were taken, site field naming site, and results array. Dictionaries in results array have fields depending only on site e.g. thepiratebay has author field but limetorrents does not.

For example running

torge tpb --json linux iso | jq .

will return
