horriblesubs-batch-downloader 0.4.0

Download all individual episodes of an anime from HorribleSubs easily

Often times I find that HorribleSubs does not upload a single torrent containing all episodes of an anime, or as they call them, batches.

This scraper will search all their shows given a search word (via command line or after prompt during program execution), and download all episodes of the desired show in the highest resolution available.

Features

• re-uses previous list of shows scraped from the site that gets saved in a text file if not expired

• asks user which show they wanted if there is more than one match found

Requirements

• Python 3.5+

• xdg-open if using Unix

• Software that can download content from a magnet link (e.g.: transmission, tixati, BitTorrent, etc.)

Install

pip install -U horriblesubs-batch-downloader

or

1. clone this repo

2. cd horriblesubs_batch_downloader

3. python setup.py install

Usage

Here’s some examples. There’d actually be prompts for the user to go through for each one to select the desired show.

hsbd "one piece"
hsbd jojo
hsbd naruto
hsbd --help

Note: it will save the shows in the current working directory ($PWD) and attempt to load cached info from the HS site so it’s better to cd to a directory like Downloads first.
