Looks like this project was created an hour ago by cloning peerflix. Not a bad way to start, but as yet nothing to distinguish it from the more mature offerings like peerflix itself, or aria2 as mentioned in a sister comment.

Alternatively, rtorrent is a nice and mature ncurses based torrent client. It's already in the repository of most distributions.

For any other rtorrent users, check out rtorrent-pyroscope for a modified version that provides a number of enhancements (more compact UI, a number of ancillary scripts to manage torrents, make torrents and modify torrent files).

I found rtorrent kept breaking on my often enough (mac) that it wasn't worth keeping around. It got dropped from homebrew for that very reason. Transmission cli does a wonderful job in place of it.

That said, the name was valuable itself.

It's always nice to have options, but aria2 is a very mature cli file grabber that supports .torrent files among a host of other protocols. https://aria2.github.io

especially when the SLOC is around 80 for the OP.

Including dependencies?
