Am I confused or is OP trying to just copy peerflix&#x27;s torrent downloading code?<p>I looked at the personal website of the Github user (Jeffrey Jose) who forked it (4 hours ago) and they already have a listing for &quot;tget&quot; on their website[0]. I understand it is MIT licensed, but that seems shady to me to try to pass off another&#x27;s work as your own. The first PR was to fix the README title from peerflix to &quot;tget&quot;[1].<p>[0]: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;jeffreyjose.com&#x2F;code" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;jeffreyjose.com&#x2F;code</a><p>[1]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;jeffjose&#x2F;tget&#x2F;pull&#x2F;1&#x2F;commits&#x2F;69477080505ffd9c4775730ba85fd033574ca5a3" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;jeffjose&#x2F;tget&#x2F;pull&#x2F;1&#x2F;commits&#x2F;69477080505f...</a>

It&#x27;s always nice to have options, but aria2 is a very mature cli file grabber that supports .torrent files among a host of other protocols.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;aria2.github.io" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;aria2.github.io</a>

Looks like this project was created an hour ago by cloning peerflix. Not a bad way to start, but as yet nothing to distinguish it from the more mature offerings like peerflix itself, or aria2 as mentioned in a sister comment.

Alternatively, rtorrent is a nice and mature ncurses based torrent client. It&#x27;s already in the repository of most distributions.

does it seed to a 1:1 ratio?
