What is this repo?

MagnetMagnet is well, a magnet link magnet, it's a scraper that allows you to scrape torrent magnet links from a range of torrent indexers. I decided to make this app to improve my Python skills.

Features supported:

• Supported torrent indexers:
  • 1377x
  • Kick Ass Torrents
  • Nyaa
  • RARBG
  • The Pirate Bay
• Scraping magnet links using specific keywords
• Choosing the category/subcategory to scrape magnet links from
• Exporting magnet links to a .txt file in local directory
• Copy specific magnet links to the clipboard on click
• Sort alphabetically, by most seeders or by most leechers (and vice versa)
• Auto version checker
• Cross platform

To do list:

• Add Nyaa support
• Add maximum scraping limit
• Add a self updater
• Make scraping asynchronous

Installation

• Windows: To install MagnetMagnet either download the latest executable file from here
• Other: If you're using Linux/MacOS or the above methods for Windows didn't work, you can download the entire repository from here and run main.py using Python, dependencies must be installed with pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage:

Home Screen:

• On launch you get five options of torrent indexers to scrape from: 1377x, Kick Ass Torrents, Nyaa, RARBG and The Pirate Bay
• There is also a sixth tab named 'Search' which allows you to scrape the aforementioned torrent indexers for specific words

Search:

• In the Search app you have four user editable fields:
• Checkboxes: you can select/deselect the torrent indexers you would like to search from
• Search box: here you enter the search query you would like to scrape
• Table: the table displays the title names, seeders and leechers for the torrents scraped, here you can copy the magnet link you would like by selecting a row
• Slider the slider allows you to limit the amount of torrents scraped per torrent indexer

Scrapers:

• There are only two user changeable fields in the scraper apps:
• Domain: the first field is for the domain, here just choose the torrent indexer's domain
• Category: the second field is for the category which you can choose from the drop down box

Building

• Create a Python virtual environment and activate it
• Install all the requirements in requirements.txt (you need to have wheel installed beforehand)
• Then install pyinstaller with pip install pyinstaller
• Run pyinstaller -n MagnetMagnet -i ./src/icon.ico -w -F main.py
