Torrra - “rrr”

A Python tool that lets you search and download torrents without leaving your CLI.

Torrra provides a streamlined command-line interface for torrent search and downloads, powered by Jackett/Prowlarr and Libtorrent. Built with Textual, it offers a beautiful TUI with pause/resume support - all without leaving your terminal.

Quick Usage

1. Interactive Search

Launch torrra with an indexer.

torrra # if default indexer is configured
# or torrra jackett
# or torrra jackett --url http://localhost:9117 --api-key <your_api_key>

Replace <your_jackett_api_key> with your actual Jackett API key.

2. Direct Search

You can bypass the initial welcome screen and search
for torrents directly from your command line using the search command:

torrra search "arch linux iso"
# or torrra search "arch linux iso" --no-cache

3. Direct Download

You can download torrents directly from magnet URIs or .torrent files
without searching using the download command:

torrra download "magnet:?xt=urn:btih:..."
# or torrra download "/path/to/file.torrent"

Configuration

For persistent settings, torrra uses a config.toml file where you can configure your indexers, download paths, and themes. This avoids the need to pass arguments on every run.

For example, to set up Jackett as your default indexer:

# set your Jackett URL and API key
torrra config set indexers.jackett.url http://localhost:9117
torrra config set indexers.jackett.api_key <your_api_key>

# set Jackett as the default indexer
torrra config set indexers.default jackett

Now you can simply run torrra to start searching:

torrra # default indexer will be used
