# Torrench
|
|
|
|
Torrench searches for torrents.
|
|
It breaks a lot, so if it's not working, the problem is probably in the program.
|
|
|
|
Search for 'sita sings the blues' with:
|
|
|
|
> torrench 'sita sings the blues'
|
|
|
|
Copy the magnet link.
|
|
It looks like this:
|
|
|
|
`magnet:?xt=urn:btih:05547db7c0c5fbbe50f00212ee43e9cec5b006fa&dn=Sita+Sings+the+Blues+%281080P+official+release%29&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.leechers-paradise.org%3A6969&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.openbittorrent.com%3A80&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Fopen.demonii.com%3A1337&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.coppersurfer.tk%3A6969&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Fexodus.desync.com%3A6969`

# Transmission
|
|
|
|
The package is often called `transmission-cli`.
|
|
Install it then start the service.
|
|
|
|
Arch Linux:
|
|
|
|
> sudo systemctl start transmission
|
|
|
|
Debian:
|
|
|
|
> sudo systemctl start transmission-daemon
|
|
|
|
Add a torrent by the .torrent file, or a magnet link, like this:
|
|
|
|
> transmission-remote -a 'magnet:?xt=urn:btih:05547db7c0c5fbbe50f00212ee43e9cec5b006fa&dn=Sita+Sings+the+Blues+%281080P+official+release%29&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.leechers-paradise.org%3A6969&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.openbittorrent.com%3A80&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Fopen.demonii.com%3A1337&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.coppersurfer.tk%3A6969&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Fexodus.desync.com%3A6969'
|
|
|
|
> transmission-remote -a sita.torrent
|
|
|
|
Now let's check that the torrent's been added successfully.
|
|
|
|
> transmission-remote -l
|
|
|
|
To see the torrents, go to /var/lib/transmission/Downloads
|
|
|
|
If you don't have permission, either add the directory to the group made for your username, or add yourself to the `:transmission` group, or otherwise make sure that you can read that directory, and the user `transmission` can read, write and execute.
|
|
E.g.:
|
|
|
|
> sudo usermod -aG transmission $USER
|
|
|
|
Open a new terminal for the group changes to take effect.
|
|
|
|
## Removing Torrents
|
|
|
|
If you don't want to have a file active as a torrent, get it's number with `transmission-remote -l`, then, if it were number '4', do:
|
|
|
|
> transmission-remote -t 4 -r
|
|
|
|
You can now move the file, and the torrent will not be confused.
|
|
|
|
To both **r**emove **a**nd **d**elete a file, use `-rad`:
|
|
|
|
> transmission-remote -t 4 -rad
|
|
|
|
# Moving Torrents
|
|
|
|
First, make sure that the user 'transmission' has permission to move the file.
|
|
If the file is in your home - `~` - but `transmission` is not allowed in your home, the file will not move there.
|
|
|
|
Next, find the torrent's number. You can use multiple numbers, separated with a comma:
|
|
|
|
> transmission-remote -t 3,5,8 --move /home/alice/music
|
|
