Torrent Magnets Cleaner - Trackerless Magnets - Userscript

Rewrites all Torrent Magnet links so that they only contain the BitTorrent info hashes (BTIH).

IE: Change :

magnet:?xt=urn:btih:9ba32060b7ad96d0a01678d1dde93298e5a934c2&dn=archlinux-2019.03.01-x86_64.iso&tr=udp://tracker.archlinux.org:6969&tr=http://tracker.archlinux.org:6969/announce

to :

magnet:?xt=urn:btih:9ba32060b7ad96d0a01678d1dde93298e5a934c

(but for whatever reason it doesn't work on archlinux.org, and since I don't write JS I can't fix it)

Usage :

• Install ViolentMonkey

(Do not use TamperMonkey (closed source) or GreaseMonkey (Not recommended since there was no update from August 2018 to May 2019 and it might happen again.)

• Open : https://gitlab.com/TheFrenchGhosty/torrent-magnets-cleaner-trackerless-magnets-userscript/raw/master/torrent-magnets-cleaner-trackerless-magnets-userscript.user.js

• Click "Confirm Installation" at the top right of the screen.

• Profit !

Source :

• torrent-magnet-cleaner.user.js : Complete code of https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/trackerless-magnets/ rewritten in an userscript compatible format.

Licence :

The original browser add-on is using GPLv3, and since GPLv3 require the use of the same license, this project had to be GPLv3.

I would like to release it in the public domain but I can't, sorry.

The reason I created this userscript is that the addon didn't work when I moved to Icecat.

Note : I don't have any plan to host it on Greasyfork.
