What are the prerequisites for using the Torr skill?

You must have the ArcTorrent API running locally on port 3000 and the 'jq' utility installed on your system for JSON parsing.

How do I see which torrent trackers are available?

You can use the command 'scripts/search.sh --list-sources' to view all supported torrent sources.

Can I filter results to ensure fast downloads?

Yes, the skill supports shell-based filtering (like awk) to select torrents that meet a minimum seeder count before initiating a download.

Is there a timeout for large downloads?

The download script features a default timeout of 10,800 seconds, which can be customized using the --timeout flag.

Can I use this skill for automated pipelines?

Absolutely. The download script supports a --json flag, making it easy to pipe output into other tools or automated workflows.
