Release v1.1.5: Auto-Export, Security & Download Management · x-name15/gorrent

Auto-Export .torrent files: Gorrent can now optionally export a .torrent backup file into your downloads directory the moment it finishes fetching the metadata for any magnet link (Issue #61). This feature is disabled by default to prevent clutter, and can be enabled by setting "auto_export_torrent": true in the torrent section of your config.json.
Stop & Delete Torrents: Added a new DELETE /api/torrent?hash=... endpoint and a ./gorrent.sh stop <hash> CLI command to abort and clean up active downloads.
API Key Security: Added optional API Key authentication. Set "api_key": "your_secret" in the daemon config block to secure the REST API against unauthorized access on your local network. The CLI wrapper automatically uses it.
Bare Infohash Support: Gorrent can now accept a raw 40-character infohash instead of a full magnet link for downloads
Custom Trackers: You can now define an array of "trackers" in the torrent block of your config.json. These trackers will be automatically injected into every magnet link processed by the daemon, boosting DHT peer discovery
Category-Based Directories: The CLI and API now support an optional --category flag (e.g. --category movies). Gorrent will save the torrent in a subfolder named after the category (e.g. /downloads/movies), or map it to a specific directory if defined in the new "category_dirs" config object. Perfect for homelab media server organization!
