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.
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: 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
searches*
-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
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.
Currently this is the only way to save magnet urls to a file
A config file would look something like:
[SaveToFile]
enabled = true
directory = ~/Dropbox/pirate-get/If you want to use a local copy of the Pirate Bay database download a copy here (or wherever the latest version is currently):
