CLI utility to search and download torrents from major torrent sites

I have tried numerous times to fix this and don't understand how to do so. Any advice is welcome.

ssl.SSLCertVerificationError: [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: Hostname mismatch, certificate is not valid for 'nyaa.si'. (_ssl.c:997)

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/alarm/software/cli-torrent-dl/tordl/core.py", line 105, in search

I edited the config file as follows:

"torrent_client_cmd": "aria2c ~/Downloads --follow-torrent=mem %s"

When I hit enter on the relevant file within tordl, nothing happens.

I'm on linux and the line: pkg-resources==0.0.0 in requirements.txt

prevents the installation from completing with the following error:

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement pkg-resources==0.0.0 (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for pkg-resources==0.0.0

installation worked fine when that line is removed from requirements.txt

I totally forgot about this branch. I rebased it and added an issue for tracking.

Also, re-add me on Telegram. I had to remake my accounts for weird and complicated reasons. The username is the same.

Add support for copying magnets to clipboard instead of opening torrent client. We could also just add a hotkey for copying instead of overriding the opening functionality.

As per the XDG spec, configuration files should land in ~/.config/or a subdirectory under it. This makes things cleaner instead of a random hidden directory in one's $HOME.

Pyxdg offers a ready module (I have no idea how heavy it is on the dependency side) to handle this without worrying about the finer details.

This was much easier than I was expecting.

run_api now returns the result string, which allows others functions to make quick and easy API requests. app.py is now tasked with printing the JSON for -a.

Hey. Got BT4G working, along with a few little housekeeping things. Their servers are super slow, so we should maybe make this engine one of the optional ones I mentioned earlier.

Hey.

Got a few changes here, so I'll just make a small list:

• Remove setuptools from requirements. IIRC, it gets handled automatically.
• Use the newer recommended syntax for description files.
• distutils is deprecated, so switch to setuptools. This doesn't seem to break anything.
• setup.py changes the version number from 1.06 to 1.6; that seems undesirable. This doesn't happen if you make it 1.0.6.
• Load install requirements dynamically from requirements.txt. That way, you only have to keep track of one list.
• Move venv to proper XDG config directory. This should work if someone sets $XDG_CONFIG_HOME.
• Quote arguments in tordl.sh when passing them to python.

I'm also working on a bunch of other things, such as support for copying magnet links to the clipboard instead of opening them in a client, as well as some other major engines. I'll do PRs when I have the engines ready, but I don't want to flood you with random PRs otherwise. So, please feel free to take whatever you like from my repo's branches anytime. I don't care about getting credit or anything like that. I just do this for fun, and because I think this a great tool.

rewrote tordl.sh to work with any install directory, and it works if you execute it from a symlink. also added a virtualenv setup script for the hell of it.

the setup script installs the venv in ~/.torrent_dl, and that is where tordl.sh assumes it will be, but that's up to personal preference. it can easily be changed by modifying $VENV_DIR in both scripts.
