torlink is a zero-setup torrent finder and downloader that runs in the terminal, aggregating searches across curated sources like YTS, 1337x, EZTV, Nyaa, and FitGirl. It handles the full pipeline of searching, downloading, resuming, and seeding, plus headless modes including a watch folder, a local JSON API, and media streaming.

Use cases

• search multiple torrent sites from the terminal
• download torrents via magnet links or infohashes
• queue background downloads while continuing to search
• run a headless seedbox or homelab downloader
• watch a folder for torrent files and download them automatically
• serve finished downloads to media players on the network
• control downloads programmatically via a local JSON API

When to choose

• you want a torrent client with no configuration that lives in your terminal
• you want one search to hit several reputable trackers at once
• you need a headless downloader or seedbox with an API
• you prefer keyboard-driven TUI workflows over GUI clients

When to avoid

• you need a graphical torrent client with detailed per-torrent settings
• you require fine-grained tracker, proxy, or encryption configuration
• you want to add arbitrary custom tracker sources beyond the curated list
• your environment cannot install Node.js
