Python library to watch and download torrents at the same time

Project description

Popcorn Time was/is a really cool solution to play torrents directly while its being downloaded in the background, if you can get one of the installers to work. I really love Peerflix, it just works.

This is a port of my beloved peerflix to python. I really need to get it to packaging it, so that I can just apt-get it :)

You can simultaneously watch and download a torrent at the same time. It also supports random and incremental seek functionality of the media player.

All you have to do is torrent-dl [magnet link]

It will automatically start playing once it has downloaded a certain portion of the file depending on your internet speed.

Built on [pyflix](https://github.com/animeshkundu/pyflix). Contains both the torrent library and the media streamer. Feel free to build awesome stuff on top of it.
