Adding ability to updoad `.torrent` files for download and through direct download links

Open SnazzyCoder opened this issue 3 years ago • 3 comments

It would be great if the application allowed to upload .torrent files to autolycus, downloaded from somewhere like yts.mx, so that they could be downloaded as well (like seedr.cc does).

Also, sometimes, for example, a .mp4 file download is available for direct downalod, but the server is too slow (~200kbps), and it's not really convinient to download it all on one's device. Could the hosting server be used as a middle man in that case, by pasting the download link for a .mp4 file into autolycus, and finding it downloaded till tomorrow, from where it could be downloaded instantly.

These features would be great... Thank You...

There are two different features here:

  • Uploading .torrent file instead of Magnet
  • Ability to fetch downloadable links from anywhere on the internet.

This can be done, but it's not on high priority right now.

Thanks. But I think I didn't properly explain the second one.

I meant that, for example, we have a worldfree4u (a movie downloading site) .mkv direct download link already, which provides the ability to download movies from their own servers, which are very slow, and it takes an eternity to download a 200mb file. Downloading it from a phone or PC results in unexpected complications, and they need to be always active, since pausing most of these downloads fails them.

The ability to paste these slow download links into autolycus, keep actively downloading them on the self-hosted instance (which would take around 1 hour even with blazing internet speeds because of speed caps on the transmission side), then logging back in to autolycus to see the file downloaded onto our server's storage, and then download it locally from there. It would be much faster and convinient after that, since there would be no caps on transfer speeds.

Does this sound like a good idea? The other most anticipated feature imo...

can you tell me how to fix the "Our Server is Feeling a Little Down" ? how to get this work? This you can resolve by modifying .env file where remove 5000 and just point to api http://server-address/api

No need to update anymore, It's handled by nginx proxy.

@SnazzyCoder I am working on the libtorrent core as a separate module for the Autolycus V2, it supports torrent files as well https://github.com/imneonizer/libtorrentx
