• You have to pass magnet link or torrent file, and a path for saving the file. use . (dot) for saving in current directory.

Download with magnet link:

import asyncio
from torrentp import TorrentDownloader
torrent_file = TorrentDownloader("magnet:...", '.')
# Start the download process
asyncio.run(torrent_file.start_download()) # start_download() is a asynchronous method 

# Pausing the download
torrent_file.pause_download()

# Resuming the download
torrent_file.resume_download()

# Stopping the download
torrent_file.stop_download()

Or download with .torrent file:

import asyncio
from torrentp import TorrentDownloader
torrent_file = TorrentDownloader("test.torrent", '.')
# Start the download process
asyncio.run(torrent_file.start_download()) # start_download() is a asynchronous method 

# Pausing the download
torrent_file.pause_download()

# Resuming the download
torrent_file.resume_download()

torrent_file.stop_download()

How can I use a custom port?

torrent_file = TorrentDownloader("magnet/torrent.file", '.', port=0000)

How can I reduce memory usage for large torrents?

torrent_file = TorrentDownloader("magnet/torrent.file", '.', low_memory=True)

This applies libtorrent's low-memory session profile. It can reduce RAM usage, but may also reduce download performance.

How can I limit the upload or download speed?

Download Using 0 (default number) means unlimited speed:

await torrent_file.start_download(download_speed=0, upload_speed=0)

Or download with specifc number (kB/s):

await torrent_file.start_download(download_speed=2, upload_speed=1)

Using Command Line Interface (CLI)

Download with a magnet link:

$ torrentp --link 'magnet:...'

or download with .torrent file:

$ torrentp --link 'test.torrent'
