[SUPPORT] calmasacow - Torlink++

TorLink++ is a self-hosted Torznab +
torrent-download gateway

Built on top of the original Torlink terminal torrent finder/downloader.

The original Torlink project, its terminal TUI, curated search experience, source integrations, and downloader foundation were created by bairon / baairon. Full credit for that original work belongs to the original author.

This project is a fork that adds a LAN-friendly web layer and automation integrations around that foundation.

What TorLink++ adds:

TorLink++ keeps the native Torlink terminal experience and adds two major capabilities:

1. Torznab indexer API for automation apps

   • Exposes a Torznab-compatible endpoint for Radarr/Sonarr-style indexer integrations.

   • Supports /api?t=caps and search responses that automation apps can validate.

   • Uses a configurable API key for Radarr/Sonarr and other clients.

2. Web interface for LAN use

   • Search from a browser.

   • Queue downloads into the built-in Torlink downloader.

   • Send magnets to qBittorrent when configured.

   • View the built-in downloader queue.

   • Open the real native Torlink TUI embedded in the browser through an xterm.js + PTY bridge.

Why this exists:

The original Torlink is a polished terminal-native torrent finder/downloader. TorLink++ is for homelab users who want that same curated search/downloader base to also work with:

• Radarr

• Sonarr

• browser-based searching

• a LAN-hosted web UI

• qBittorrent handoff

• Docker/Unraid deployments

Web UI modes:

The header includes quick navigation between:

• Web GUI: browser search, queue, settings, and qBittorrent actions.

• Web TUI: the actual native Torlink terminal UI embedded in the browser using xterm.js and a server-side PTY.

• Queue: active built-in downloader queue, with the Queue button toggling back to Search.

TorLink++ is a fork of the original Torlink project by bairon / baairon:

The original project deserves the credit for the native TUI, core torrent search/downloader concept, and curated source experience. TorLink++ extends that work with a web interface, Torznab API, qBittorrent handoff, Docker/Unraid-oriented deployment, and embedded browser TUI support.
