UnTorrent.Me - Convert torrents into zip downloads

[bitspill]

Website just sufferedwent through a UI overhaul and now looks much better, it even has an official logo and favicon now rather than the boring plain white page icon


I've seen a number of deposits being made, is the service working alright for everyone? No bugs/glitches to be seen?

so far so good, but is there a way i can see my recent torrents list just by going to the main untorrent.me page instead of having to know that link "to check back later"?

As of now, no but if you just paste the .torrent link in again it'll send you to the same status page.

So even if you don't save the /status/ link if you remember what you were downloading you can get back by "re-downloading" it again. <-- This will not charge you double it will recognize the file is already there and continue.

oooh! nice look!

testing...

one minor thing: http size header (not sure what it's called "content-size" or something) missing on zip download? you might be zipping on the fly. If that's the case:I said no word about size header

again: great service! I like the decisions you made regarding privacy and payment model.

only 1 thing left: pleasel stay UP!

EDIT: pricing adequate, I'd say.

It is zipped on the fly so I can't set the size ahead of time.

only 1 thing left: pleasel stay UP!

I intend to for as long as I can, hosting costs are not too bad.

Now that's an awesome design. And no glitches here - everything works flawlessly

[molecular]

Service works flawlessly!

I have a feature request: would it be possible to allow direct access to the files instead of zipping them? That way I could start watching right away. As it is now, I have to wait for the zip to fully download (I only have a 8 mbit connection ;-( )

Alternatively: does someone have enough script-fu to tell me how to pipe wget/curl output into unzip and achieve the same goal?

EDIT: I guess piping to unzip wont work because zip file info is at the end of the zip.

EDIT2: HA! Seems there is a way after all:

Code:

wget -qO- https://untorrent.me/torApi/fetch/<id>?secret=<secret> | bsdtar -xvf-

(found here)

Works very well for me as well.

Minor things (Chromium): When adding a new torrent, the info bar shows 100% right away. Also, can you make the "URL to check back later" text and link a bit bigger? Lastly can you make the logo a link to the home page?

Great to hear!

Possibly, but no near term plans for that.

Wow, neat trick.
Such is the power of the Linux, all hail Linus. (And also Lord Gaben)

Minor things (Chromium): When adding a new torrent, the info bar shows 100% right away.
I'll take a look
Also, can you make the "URL to check back later" text and link a bit bigger?
Done, let me know how that is
Lastly can you make the logo a link to the home page?
Done

I found a problem with a partial download (single .part file in zip) or download still im progress although website says 100%.

It said 100% right away after I entered the magnet url.

I'll PM you the link to you can see which file.

EDIT: ok, it's downloaded now.

So the bug is that it says 100%.

I'm assuming this can happen when a file I want to download has already been started by someone else but is not complete yet?

Thanks for the report, that should be fixed up now.

When adding a magnet link the size of the download is not known in advance so Transmission reports the progress as 0 bytes downloaded out of a total of 0 bytes, so the code sees downloaded is equal to total and reports 100% completion.

The page has been updated to show "Fetching magnet metadata" instead of "0 bytes" until the magnet finishes processing and the true downloading begins.

When you came back later it worked because even though your screen was no longer updating Transmission continued to download in the background.

I understand. Thanks for the fix.

It looks like another related service burned out, bananaseed.net is now closed and redirecting to google.com https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1023797.0

1) You don't have the option to delete it yourself. Torrents get seeded to a ratio of 3.0 then they are periodically deleted as disk space is needed but they should be up for a week at least

2) If it's brought to our attention we may have to remove said file but otherwise we don't get involved in what our users download. That being said only download content for which you have the rights to.

1. So we don't have control of our files. Okay, one week is enough for download the file.
2. Unfortunately many torrent users are looking for pirate files and warez files. That's why they use torrent to avoid copyrighted materials, is it gives your attention?
because i have plan to use this service to download popular TV series, thanks

1) That's correct. What control do you need? It sounds like you may be looking for a seedbox instead.

2) There are also many legal uses for torrents such as linux distros and downloading public domain content from archive.org are two major examples. That being said, DADT

Here is a sample of whats stored in the database:

Code:

Users:
{ "_id" : ObjectId("<id>"), "address" : "<address>", "balance" : 112164479791, "secret" : "<secret>" }

Torrents:
{ "hash" : "36719ba2cecf9f3bd7c5abfb7a88e939611b536c", "addedOn" : ISODate("2015-02-11T11:01:45.999Z"), "title" : "bootstrap.dat", "downloaded" : true, "deleted" : true, "_id" : ObjectId("<id>") }

Then there is third party tracking by Google Analytics client side and Keen.IO server side.
