👋 Introduction

qBittorrent Magnet Link Feeder is a Command-Line Interface (CLI) automation tool designed to streamline the bulk import of magnet links into qBittorrent.

The application accepts a target directory path as a command-line argument, scanning its root for .txt files containing magnet links. It then automates the process of importing these links into the qBittorrent user interface and automatically handles the confirmation dialogs. To keep your workspace clean, it organizes all active downloads into structured folders named after the source text file and the torrent index, completely eliminating naming conflicts.

💡 The Perfect Companion Tool
This application serves as the ideal companion for BT4G-Torrent-Magnet-Scraper. While the scraper automates the harvesting of magnet links into text files, qBittorrent Magnet Link Feeder takes over the heavy lifting of importing and organizing those generated magnet lists directly into your qBittorrent client seamlessly.

🤖 Features

• Automatically scans, detects, and processes .txt files located in the root of the specified directory path.
• Automatically structures your downloads into dedicated folders using the source .txt filename combined with a torrent index to prevent overwriting files.
• Employs precise SendKeys simulation to interact with qBittorrent dialogs without requiring manual intervention.
• Safely blocks user keyboard and mouse input during active automation sequences to guarantee flawless execution and prevent accidental misclicks.
• Designed with safety in mind; you can instantly break the input block and interrupt execution at any time by pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL.

⚠️ Limitations

The UI automation relies on explicit window title strings to detect and automatically dismiss duplicate torrent dialogs. Currently, only English and Spanish qBitTorrent user interfaces are supported. If your qBittorrent client is configured in any other language and a duplicate dialog window appear, the automation will fail to recognize the window and it will result in other issues.

🌐 Adding Multilingual Support

If you are a developer and want to add support for other languages, the process is straightforward:

1. Add the localized window title to the TORRENT_ALREADY_PRESENT_WINDOW_TITLES collection in the source code.
2. Recompile the project with your changes using Visual Studio.

📝 Requirements

• Microsoft Windows OS.

• qBitTorrent 5.x

• Having the following checkbox checked in qBitTorrent:

  

• Having at least one plain text file (.txt) containing magnet URIs inside (to be automatically imported to qBitTorrent).
