What is Fishnet?

Fishnet is a simple utility to find torrents. It aggregates results from different providers, which can be loaded remotely or locally, and displays them. The user can then copy the URL and/or the magnet link to the clipboard and do whatever he/she wants with it. Really, is just as simple as it sounds. It is also possible to search by category for a single provider, or search using all available providers in all categories. When gathering results from all providers it can display the results in a single tab (as 'Aggregated') or in different tabs.

What are these providers you are talking about?

Providers are just JSON files which contain information on how to fetch results from a Torrent search site. Fishnet engine's builds the query for you with the following information:

• Provider to use (First tool button on the left in main pane)
• Text to search (Text input field, just write whatever you want)
• Category to search into (Only available when using the 'Search' tool button) Once the query is build, it extracts the torrents' data by doing XPath queries on the retrieved html code, using the information in the JSON file for a certain provider.
