# Torrents.csv

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

`Torrents.csv` is a collaborative, *vetted* 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 via a rust script. 

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

It also comes with a self-hostable [Torrents.csv webserver](https://torrents-csv.ml)

## Searching

### Requirements

- [ripgrep](https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep)

### Running

To find torrents, run `./search.sh "bleh season 1"`
```
bleh season 1 (1993-)
	seeders: 33
	size: 13GiB
	link: magnet:?xt=urn:btih:INFO_HASH_HERE
```

## Running the webserver

### Requirements

- Rust
- ripgrep
- Yarn

### Running

`Torrents.csv` comes with a simple webserver. Run `cd scripts && ./webserver.sh`, and goto http://localhost:8080

If running on a different host, open up `server/ui/src/env.ts` and change your hostname.

## Uploading

An *upload*, consists of making a pull request after running the `add_torrents.sh` script, which adds torrents from a directory you choose to the `.csv` file, after checking that they aren't already there, and that they have seeders.

### Requirements

- [Torrent tracker scraper](https://github.com/ZigmundVonZaun/torrent-tracker-scraper)
- [Transmission-cli](https://transmissionbt.com/)
- [Human Friendly](https://humanfriendly.readthedocs.io/en/latest/readme.html#command-line)
