I'm trying to write a torrent application that can take in a list of magnet links and then download them all together. I've been trying to read and understand the documentation at Libtorrent but I haven't been able to tell if what I try works or not. I've managed to be able to apply a SOCKS5 proxy to a Libtorrent session and download a single magnet link using this code:
import libtorrent as lt
import time
import os
ses = lt.session()
r = lt.proxy_settings()
r.hostname = "proxy_info"
r.username = "proxy_info"
r.password = "proxy_info"
r.port = 1080
r.type = lt.proxy_type_t.socks5_pw
ses.set_peer_proxy(r)
ses.set_web_seed_proxy(r)
ses.set_proxy(r)
t = ses.settings()
t.force_proxy = True
t.proxy_peer_connections = True
t.anonymous_mode = True
ses.set_settings(t)
print(ses.get_settings())
ses.peer_proxy()
ses.web_seed_proxy()
ses.set_settings(t)
magnet_link = "magnet"
params = {
"save_path": os.getcwd() + r"\torrents",
"storage_mode": lt.storage_mode_t.storage_mode_sparse,
"url": magnet_link
}
handle = lt.add_magnet_uri(ses, magnet_link, params)
ses.start_dht()
print('downloading metadata...')
while not handle.has_metadata():
time.sleep(1)
print('got metadata, starting torrent download...')
while handle.status().state != lt.torrent_status.seeding:
s = handle.status()
state_str = ['queued', 'checking', 'downloading metadata', 'downloading', 'finished', 'seeding', 'allocating']
print('%.2f%% complete (down: %.1f kb/s up: %.1f kB/s peers: %d) %s' % (s.progress * 100, s.download_rate / 1000, s.upload_rate / 1000, s.num_peers, state_str[s.state]))
time.sleep(5)
This is great and all for runing on its own with a single link. What I want to do is something like this:
def torrent_download(magnetic_link_list):
for mag in range(len(magnetic_link_list)):
handle = lt.add_magnet_uri(ses, magnetic_link_list[mag], params)
#Then download all the files
#Once all files complete, stop the torrents so they dont seed.
return torrent_name_list
I'm not sure if this is even on the right track or not, but some pointers would be helpful.
UPDATE: This is what I now have and it works fine in my case
