# Torrents.csv

<!-- Torrents.csv - An open source, collaborative repository of torrents, with a self-hostable web server.  -->

[Demo Server](https://torrents-csv.ml)

`Torrents.csv` is a *collaborative* repository of torrents, consisting of a single, searchable `torrents.csv` file. Its initially populated with a January 2017 backup of the pirate bay, and new torrents are periodically added from various torrents sites. It comes with a self-hostable [Torrents.csv webserver](https://torrents-csv.ml), a command line search, and a folder scanner to add torrents.

`Torrents.csv` will only store torrents with at least one seeder to keep the file small, will be periodically purged of non-seeded torrents, and sorted by infohash.

## Uploading / Adding Torrents from a Directory

  - `npm i -g dessalines/torrent-tracker-health`
- [jq command line JSON parser](https://stedolan.github.io/jq/)

## Web scraping torrents

`Torrents.csv` has a `Rust` repository for scraping new and top torrents from some torrent sites in the `new_torrents_fetcher` folder. It currently only has skytorrents, but more will be added later.

### Requirements

- Rust

### Running

```
git clone https://gitlab.com/dessalines/torrents.csv
cd torrents.csv/scripts
./update.sh
```

## How the .csv file looks

```sh

# torrents here...
```
