## What it is
Torrra is a Python CLI/TUI tool for searching and downloading torrents directly from the terminal. It integrates with Jackett/Prowlarr indexers for search and uses Libtorrent for downloads, with a Textual-based interface supporting pause/resume.

## Use cases
- search torrents from the terminal
- download magnet links without leaving the CLI
- download local .torrent files from the command line
- search torrents via Jackett or Prowlarr indexers
- pause and resume torrent downloads in a TUI
- configure persistent indexer and download settings

## When to choose
- you want torrent search and downloads entirely in your terminal
- you already run Jackett or Prowlarr and want a lightweight client
- you prefer a TUI with pause/resume over a GUI torrent client
- you want to script or automate magnet/torrent downloads

## When to avoid
- you need a full GUI torrent client with bandwidth scheduling and RSS automation
- you don't have or want to set up a Jackett/Prowlarr indexer
- you need a seedbox with a web interface for remote management
