Torrent Downloader using Google Colab

This script facilitates downloading torrents directly to your Google Drive using Google Colab. It employs libtorrent to handle torrent downloads and requires minimal setup.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

Access to Google Colab (https://colab.research.google.com/)
Google Drive storage for downloading torrents
Basic understanding of using Colab notebooks

Installation

Mount Google Drive to the notebook environment by running the provided code block:
```
from google.colab import drive
drive.mount('/content/drive')
```

Install dependencies by executing the following commands:

!python -m pip install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel
!python -m pip install lbry-libtorrent

Usage

Execute the script in a Colab notebook environment.
When prompted, paste the torrent/magnet link into the input field.
The script will start downloading the torrent to the specified location in your Google Drive.

Example

# Mount Google Drive
from google.colab import drive
drive.mount('/content/drive')

# Install dependencies
!python -m pip install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel
!python -m pip install lbry-libtorrent

# Capture magnet link from the user
link = input("PASTE TORRENT/MAGNET LINK HERE \n")

# Code to download torrent
import libtorrent as lt
import time
import datetime

ses = lt.session()
ses.listen_on(6881, 6891)
params = {
    'save_path': '/content/drive/My Drive/Torrent/',
    'storage_mode': lt.storage_mode_t(2)
}

handle = lt.add_magnet_uri(ses, link, params)
ses.start_dht()

begin = time.time()
print(datetime.datetime.now())

print('Downloading Metadata...')
while not handle.has_metadata():
    time.sleep(1)
print('Got Metadata, Starting Torrent Download...')

print("Starting", handle.name())

while handle.status().state != lt.torrent_status.seeding:
    s = handle.status()
    state_str = ['queued', 'checking', 'downloading metadata', 'downloading', 'finished', 'seeding', 'allocating']
    print('%.2f%% complete (down: %.1f kb/s up: %.1f kB/s peers: %d) %s ' %
          (s.progress * 100, s.download_rate / 1000, s.upload_rate / 1000, s.num_peers, state_str[s.state]))
    time.sleep(5)

end = time.time()
print(handle.name(), "COMPLETE")

print("Elapsed Time: ", int((end - begin) // 60), "min :", int((end - begin) % 60), "sec")

print(datetime.datetime.now())

Notes

Make sure you have sufficient space in your Google Drive for downloading large files.
This script runs in the Colab environment, so ensure continuous internet connectivity during the download process.
