What is TorrentX?

Build from Source

Requirements

• Rust (stable)
• Jackett running locally

Install Rust

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
source $HOME/.cargo/env

System Dependencies

Arch Linux

sudo pacman -S base-devel pkg-config openssl gtk3

Ubuntu / Debian

sudo apt install build-essential pkg-config libssl-dev libgtk-3-dev

Fedora

sudo dnf install gcc pkg-config openssl-devel gtk3-devel

Windows

Install Rust for Windows — Visual Studio C++ build tools are required (setup guide).

Build & Run

git clone https://github.com/chethan62/torrentx
cd torrentx

# Development build
cargo run

# Optimized release build (~11 MB binary)
cargo build --release

# Run
./target/release/torrentx          # Linux / macOS
.\target\release\torrentx.exe      # Windows

First build downloads and compiles dependencies — expect 2–4 minutes. Subsequent builds are fast.

Usage

1. Start Jackett — http://localhost:9117

2. Open TorrentX — a native window appears immediately.

3. Configure — click the ⚙ Settings bar, paste your Jackett API key, adjust columns and timeout. Settings are saved automatically.

4. Search — type a query, pick a category, hit Enter. Results populate a sortable, filterable table.

5. Act on results — select a row and use keyboard shortcuts or the inline action buttons (Mag · Copy · DL · Fav · Info · Web).
