torrra
CLI and TUI torrent search tool with Jackett/Prowlarr integration.
Torrra is a Python CLI and full‑screen TUI application that lets you search for and download torrents through indexers like Jackett and Prowlarr, powered by Libtorrent for magnet downloads. It combines a responsive terminal UI with a native command line interface for flexible usage in local and headless environments. (torrra.readthedocs.io)
Key Features
- CLI and TUI interfaces with a responsive terminal UI built using a Python-based UI approach
- Integrates with Jackett and Prowlarr to access a wide range of torrent sources
- Downloads are powered by Libtorrent with pause/resume controls and optional seeding
- Fully cross‑platform with installation options including pipx, Docker, and binaries

- Direct search from the command line and interactive result navigation
Use Cases
- Search for and download torrents directly from a terminal, for example querying a distro or media pack via a local Jackett/Prowlarr setup. (github.com)
- Operate Torrra in a headless or remote environment by connecting to your indexers and managing downloads from a central server. (torrra.readthedocs.io)
- Monitor and control progress in real time using the TUI, with pause/resume and theming options. (torrra.readthedocs.io)
Limitations and Considerations
- (No significant, Torrra-specific limitations documented here; user should review project docs for dependencies on indexers and libtorrent compatibility.)
