horriblesubs-batch-downloader 0.2.4

Download episodes of an anime in bulk from HorribleSubs

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.

Install

Installing as python module is the recommended way to install & use

pip install --upgrade git+https://github.com/jtara1/horriblesubs_batch_downloader

Or, you could download from pypi via

Usage

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.
