Dang.  I was hoping to switch to rTorrent.  Thank you for the word of caution.  
Are you able to provide any example files or magnet links that rTorrent fails 
to process?

I've gone from Transmission to Deluge to qBittorrent, and they all suck for 
various reasons.  If I could combine the stability of Transmission with the 
robustness of qBittorrent and Deluge's sane handling of untracked files and 
partial downloads... then we might be in business.

No logic here. Don't know what was I thinking last night that I posted about 
this project here (stupid me!).
I do regret posting it. Won't happen again.

Probably worth noting that this defense breaks down when the project
README specifically calls out high-profile illegal content as usage
examples, though. :p

Although the AUR *still* has that torrent client which is specifically
designed to stream pirated movies via torrents, so I dunno.

(I honestly thought that that was deleted, but I just checked and it's
still listed in the AUR!)

Because if the AUR, and the forums, don't allow it, then it is better to
use the mailing list run by the same organization... because why?

This seems like questionable logic.

That being said, we have bittorrent clients available in the offical
repos and the AUR, and e.g. qbittorrent (in [community]) comes with a
builtin search indexer that searches thepiratebay among several other sites.

As far as I know, thepiratebay.org by itself is not illegal, only much
but not all of the _linked_ content. As an example, you can most likely
find a torrent-link for an Arch ISO.

Re: [arch-general] (Off-topic) Command-line torrent download tool

[Kryptxy via arch-general]

Hi there,
I'm not sure if the PKGBUILD will be accepted in AUR. I had once posted a 
thread in open-source contributions in arch formus, but was taken down due to 
legal issues (end of the day, TPB is illegal :P). So I didn't put effort in 
building PKGBUILD.
That's the ONLY reason I posted about it here.

Also, it's not a torrent client. It just scraps thepiratebay proxy sites, and 
displays results in console window.

The software is not a torrent client, only a "search interface" that
comes in html or command line output. Output itself is not rendered
using any rendering enginge but string addition (str.__add__). I
haven't exactly figured out what it actually does just yet, but it's
not what you've been looking for.

Regarding torrent clients, I'm actually pretty happy with
extra/transmission-cli's transmission-daemon.

Howdy,
I'm glad there's now something other than rtorrent. Rtorrent works usually, but 
there are some torrents that just refuse to work with it, hopefully this new, 
in development CLI tool will fil in the gap.
Are you planning to make a PKGBUILD for it in the AUR, or do you want someone 
else to do it?

I've really want some adoption, I suggest you upload a PKGBUILD to the
AUR.

P.S. I'm not a 100% fan of these forms of advertisement (seeing how it's
also CC'd to the ubuntu mailing list)
