Thoughts on archiving
I am archiving this (and the related repositories - yts.am_scraper and movie_torrents). There are several reasons but the most prominent one being that some people might use it for torrenting unsanctioned copyrighted material. As mentioned in the disclaimer, this was not the goal. Maybe this was the reason that I have not thought about this project since the time it was put on Github and therefore it's very outdated and might not even work out-of-the-box.
yts_torrents
download all torrents from yts.am (yify movies). Uses yify api.
Used to create movie_torrents[repository of 10k+ movie torrents].
Usage
- clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/makkoncept/yts_torrents.git
cd yts_torrents
- Create a virtualenv:
python3 -m venv venv
- Activate it on Linux:
. venv/bin/activate
- Or on Windows cmd:
venv\Scripts\activate.bat
- Install requests
pip install requests
run python yts_am_api.py to make json files containing torrent links of the movies. Then run python linkdownload.py
to parse the created json files and download the torrents.
Priority
The torrents will be downloaded according to the following priority:
1080p bluray> 1080p web> 720p bluray> 720p web
