Simple twist.moe anime downloader
It seems that AnimeTwist's servers have gone down for quite a while now and I do not have the motivation to continue or support this project for quite some time now nor do I have a reason to do so anymore. Hence, this project is now archived most likely pernamently.
Install it via npm as a global module
npm i twist-dl -g
$ twist-dl
Just type twist-dl
to your terminal/cmd.
This will launch a simple interface that can be easily controlled via arrow keys, space and enter.
Anime list and sources are directly fetched from twist.moe. It will download into your currently working directory under the same filename as it is on their servers.
You can also download anime via CLI if that's what you prefer. Down below you can see the help message.
$ twist-dl -h
Usage: twist-dl -a <anime name> -e <episode> [-o <output>]
