Filme provides utilities for torrenting movies

Filme

A movie torrenting utility.

Filme is a little torrenting helper I started writing for myself some time ago. The one solid feature it has right now is the torrent searching, which basically crawls 1337x.to from the cli.

It can search for torrents (filme help search) and display details about any of the search results (filme help detail).

Install

snap install filme

build from source

Run make as an entry point:

make binary
sudo mv build/filme-linux-amd64 /usr/local/bin/filme

Usage

Search

List all items matching "1080p". Crawl first 20 pages:

filme search 1080p --page-min 1 --page-max 20

Please crawl 1337x politely by using the --reqs-* crawler settings. They set delays and parallelism. You can also set the user agent, but leaving it empty will use valid random ones from different browsers.

Display details

Display one of the items:

filme detail https://1337x.to/torrent/4287659/Honey-Boy-2019-1080p-WEBRip-5-1-YTS-YIFY/

will get you

Gemini Man (2019) [WEBRip] [1080p] [YTS] [YIFY]
