torex

torex is an open source application for automatic torrent extraction.

Installation

You can install through PyPi:

pip install torex

Or just download the sources (manually or clone from GitHub) and run:

python setup.py install

Running

The command for running torex is just torex.

The command-line interface is:

torex <config_path> <torrent_path> <label>

Where:

• config_path: Configuration file path
• torrent_path: The path to the downloaded torrent
• label: The torrent's label (will be explained later on)

uTorrent Setup

The script is particularly easy to run from uTorrent. Under Preferences, go to Advanced -> Run Program. Then, set the program to be run:

torex <config_path> "%D" "%L"

Finally, when you add a torrent that should be extracted, just make sure it is assigned the correct label in uTorrent.

Labels

Supported torrent labels:

• tv - A TV series torrent (Formatted like Breaking Bad S01E01)

Configuration

The configuration file is a YAML file, that tells torex where it should extract the torrents to. You can take a look at config_example.yaml for an example of what a configuration file should look like.

Under the label, you can define a root path that the torrents will be extracted to. Every torrent will be extracted to a subdirectory with the TV series' name.

You can define an array of special types, each containing two fields:

• title: A regex for matching a torrent's title
• path: The path that these torrents should be extracted to

The special configuration is particularly useful when you have a big drive that holds all your downloads, but you want some specific torrents to be extracted somewhere else.

Torrent Types

Right now, the only supported torrents are torrents that are a single directory with a single .rar file to be extracted.

Logs

torex writes logs to ~/.torex/logs.txt
