This script I find very useful since it checks for torrent availability before trying to download. A couple comment lines are in the bottom for no longer available torrents. This way if those torrents ever become available at a later date with different names I can adjust those comment lines and put them into the gtorrent variable. #!/usr/bin/env bash # file: ctorrent.sh - script to get torrents # dependencies - ctorrent # commented out gtorrent lines show no longer available torrents. gtorrent='' echo "torrent availability checks ahead of download." echo "decoding meta file before downloading." ctorrent -x $gtorrent read echo "checking torrent pieces before download." ctorrent -c $gtorrent read echo "about to try download." ctorrent -s ~/Downloads -T -X beep -dd $gtorrent # gtorrent='https://seedbox.slackware.uk/torrents/slint64-15.0-5-iso.torrent' gtorrent='https://tails.net/torrents/files/tails-amd64-6.1.iso.torrent' -- Jude <jdashiel at panix dot com> "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
