mag2tor.py: KeyError: 'unknown name in torrent params: paused'

[booshnelli]

Hello there!
This little program of yours is exactly what I'm looking for, although unfortunately it doesn't seem to work at the moment. I have libtorrent-rasterbar10, libtorrent-rasterbar-dev, and python3-libtorrent all installed. Running python3 mag2tor.py [MAGNET] results in:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/mnt/data/shared1/Projects/mag2tor/mag2tor.py", line 41, in <module>
    for mag_link in sys.argv[1:]: mag2tor(mag_link)
  File "/mnt/data/shared1/Projects/mag2tor/mag2tor.py", line 20, in mag2tor
    torr = libtorrent.add_magnet_uri(sess, mag_link, prms)
KeyError: 'unknown name in torrent params: paused'

According to some stuff online, the add_magnet_uri function of libtorrent has been deprecated, so I suppose that probably has something to do with it!

Here's a couple references to that:

• convert_magnet failing because of incompatible libtorrent python-bindings Flexget/Flexget#2424
• https://onehack.us/t/transfer-error-from-torrent-to-gdrive-using-colab/173617
• https://gitlab.com/LazyLibrarian/LazyLibrarian/-/issues/2022

Hope this can be of some help! :)

Hi @booshnelli .

Use aria2:

$ sh magnet2torrent.sh 
Usage: magnet2torrent.sh magnet-link

magnet2torrent.sh.gz

$ cat magnet2torrent.sh 

magnet2torrent.sh

#!/bin/sh
tmagnet="$1"

if [ -z "$tmagnet" ]

then

echo "Usage: $0 magnet-link"

exit 1

Ah splendid! Had no idea about aria2 but it seems to work like a charm, thanks a bunch for the heads up! 👍
Out of curiosity, where'd you get that list of trackers from though?

Collected. https://github.com/Network-BEncode-inside/torreadwrite . But haven't updated in a long time!
