pip install -r requirements.txt

Example exported torrent:

{
    "name": "ubuntu-mate-22.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso",
    "urls": "magnet:?xt=urn:btih:de9bff3b76489706867baa8021d7e3367998ebba&dn=ubuntu-mate-22.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso&tr=https%3a%2f%2ftorrent.ubuntu.com%2fannounce",
    "save_path": "/mnt/e/files/downloads/",

Usage

As a Command Line Interface

NOTE: The script will attempt to convert torrent paths from Windows to Unix paths by default. It will map Windows drives to /mnt/. eg. "D:\folder\file.torrent" to "/mnt/d/folder/file.torrent". This can be changed by using the script as a Python package and defining a custom function to transform paths.
