[exhentai] prefer torrent over http #2996

The site's download speed is slow, especially for freemium or nonregistered user over a VPN. My idea is to use available and latest torrent of gallery over http. It's way faster and more available.

For torrent client, I suggest aria2. It isn't written in Python, but I believe Python wrapper is available. This option basically the same as ffmpeg or mkvtool, only executed if required external software is installed.

Likely duplicate? https://github.com/mikf/gallery-dl/issues/2842

"more available" = not tied by limit rates.

It's a torrent and it make use an external multi purpose torrent client. It's not like I'm intentionally download a gallery myself; it was Danbooru's source link.

You can blacklist exh links if they are too slow or not wanted.

gphg commented 1 year ago

I'll go with the blacklist for the moment.

Another question. Blacklisted aren't recorded on archive, are they?

mikf commented 1 year ago

They are not. They just get ignored.
