The whole point of this project is to stream, not download. Otherwise you can just use a regular torrent client.

I wished this project provided download option, for torrent files, or magnet links, because even though I could be using a "torrent client", there's actually no good torrent search tool for the terminal, the last that worked was torrench but it stopped working recently, so there's only torrentflix left, and I'm using it solely for the .torrent files it downloads on /tmp.

I just noticed there's the -o option, it will send magnet/torrent file to the default application set for those. Wished there was an option to simply print the link.

So, to answer the OP question, yes there's, this is what I did to send torrents/magnets to transmission-daemon.

~/.local/share/applications/transmission-remote.desktop

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=Transmission (remote)
Comment=Add torrent to transmission
Exec=/usr/bin/transmission-remote -a %u
MimeType=application/x-bittorrent;application/x-torrent;x-scheme-handler/magnet;
$ xdg-mime default transmission-remote.desktop application/x-bittorrent
$ xdg-mime default transmission-remote.desktop application/x-torrent
$ xdg-mime default transmission-remote.desktop x-scheme-handler/magnet

Now torrentflix -o -e leetx -s 'some file to search' will send the torrent to transmission-daemon (if it's running) by executing transmission-remote -a.

You may also use torrentflix -oe there.

You may also use torrentflix -oe there.

Correction, this stopped working on latest release, have to use flags separately.

Try echo or something instead of peerflix under the "peerflix_command" in your config file
