Actor - Torrent Downloader

Torrent downloader

Since some countries don't allow people to download Torrent files or use the Torrent infrastructure, this actor should help you to download any Magnet, HTTP, or HTTPS torrent file without any restrictions.

The Torrent data scraper supports the following features:

• Download any Torrent file - You can paste any Magnet, HTTP, or HTTPS torrent file that you want to download

• Optional Seeding - If you just want to download files rather than seed them, it is optional for you to do it.

Input Parameters

The input of this actor should be JSON containing the list of URLs of Torrent files. Fields are:

• startUrls: (Required) (Array) List of Torrent URLs. You should only provide torrent file URLs. Can be Magnet, HTTP, or HTTPS.

• enableSeeding: (Optional) (Boolean) Enables the seeding for the torrents. The default is false.

• disableLogs: (Optional) (Boolean) Disables the informative messages from the actor logs. The default is false.

Tip

You can find the download link of the files from the dataset. All the files will be saved into an independent Key-Value Store and the dataset contains the links for each of them

When you want to download a specific file, it is good to right-click and "Copy the link" the target URL and paste it to startUrl array.

If you enabled seeding by enableSeeding: true, then the actor will run forever. So if you are using the API, the best way to get all the files properly is to poll the actor dataset and check if the files exist there or not.

The actor's storage is double the size of the memory that you are giving. So it is always better to use memory twice the size of the file(s) for compression and downloading purposes.

Compute Unit Consumption

The actor is optimized to run blazing fast and download files as soon as possible If the actor gets the proper amount of seeders it'll go to consume ~0.1 CUs per 5 minutes.
