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

Home Screen

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

Search

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

Scrapers

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
