| Changelog
demagnetize is a Python program for converting one or more BitTorrent
magnet links into .torrent files by downloading the torrent info from
active peers.
At the moment, demagnetize only supports basic features of the BitTorrent
protocol. The following notable features are supported:

BitTorrent protocol v1
HTTP (including compact and IPv6 extensions) and UDP trackers
magnet URIs with info hashes encoded in either hexadecimal or base32
Fast extension (BEP 6)
UDP tracker protocol extensions (BEP 41)

The following features are not currently supported but are planned, in no
particular order:

Encryption
Distributed hash tables
BitTorrent protocol v2
x.pe parameters in magnet links
uTP

demagnetize has also been translated by the author into Rust; you can find
the Rust version at <https://github.com/jwodder/demagnetize-rs>.

Installation
demagnetize requires Python 3.10 or higher. Just use pip for Python 3 (You have pip, right?) to install it:
python3 -m pip install demagnetize

Usage
demagnetize [<global options>] <subcommand> ...
The demagnetize command has two subcommands, get (for converting a
single magnet link) and batch (for converting a file of magnet links), both
detailed below.

Global Options

-l LEVEL, --log-level LEVEL
Set the log level to the given value. Possible values
are “CRITICAL”, “ERROR”, “WARNING”,
“INFO”, “DEBUG”, and “TRACE” (all
case-insensitive). [default value: INFO]

demagnetize get
demagnetize [<global options>] get [<options>] <magnet-link>
Convert a single magnet link specified on the command line to a .torrent
file. (Note that you will likely have to quote the link in order to prevent it
from being interpreted by the shell.) By default, the file is saved at
{name}.torrent, where {name} is replaced by the value of the name
field from the torrent info, but a different path can be set via the
--outfile option.

Options

-o PATH, --outfile PATH
Save the .torrent file to the given path. The path
may contain a {name} placeholder, which will be
replaced by the (sanitized) name of the torrent, and/or
a {hash} placeholder, which will be replaced by the
torrent’s info hash in hexadecimal. Specifying -
will cause the torrent to be written to standard
output. [default: {name}.torrent]

demagnetize batch
demagnetize [<global options>] batch [<options>] <file>
Read magnet links from <file>, one per line (ignoring empty lines and lines
that start with #), and convert each one to a .torrent file. By
default, each file is saved at {name}.torrent, where {name} is replaced
by the value of the name field from the torrent info, but a different path
can be set via the --outfile option.

Options

-o PATH, --outfile PATH
Save the .torrent files to the given path. The
path may contain a {name} placeholder, which will
be replaced by the (sanitized) name of each torrent,
and/or a {hash} placeholder, which will be replaced
by each torrent’s info hash in hexadecimal. [default:
{name}.torrent]
