BITBEARD

bitbeard is an automated pirate bot p2p specialist based on discord who queries trackers, downloads media, and hosts it on plex for all to enjoy.

bitbeard has a ... kind of weird structure. the way that i built him is Incredibly Stupid.

if you're interested in details, there's a more in-depth explanation below ~

essentially, bitbeard is four interconnected services all powered by a python script.

  1. the discord bot
  2. the indexer (Jackett API)
  3. the plex server
  4. the p2p client (qbittorrent)

the discord bot handles input and makes calls to the tracker indexer, Jackett. Jackett searches through trackers given an input, then returns a list of results which are returned to the user via discord. when the user selects a result, the associated magnet link is added to qbittorrent, the file is downloaded to the proper directory given by the user, badabing badaboom, free movies.

bitbeard unfortunately has yet to be able to download a car. maybe in v2.0. also in the list of things i want to do for v2.0, however, is a web API, which will probably be hosted here. doing everything through discord can feel unwieldy at times.

bitbeard is currently invite-only to maintain some level of manageable overhead. if you'd like access to him, hit me up on discord and I can invite you to the server.

ok, get me outta here
