• Add torrents: Add torrents from files or URLs.
• List torrents: View the status of your torrents.
• Pause/Resume/Delete torrents: Control downloads and seeding.
• Set download location: Specify where torrents should be saved.
• Category management: Add, remove and list categories.
• Tag management: Add, remove and list tags.
• WebUI alternative: For headless servers or terminal lovers.
• Cross Platform: Supports Linux, macOS, and Windows.

go install github.com/alzabo/mot@latest

• qBittorrent Web UI enabled.

The qBittorrent Web UI username, password and URL must be supplied to allow mot to connect. These configuration options may be set using one of the methods described below.

Note: Replace "admin" and "password" with your qBittorrent Web UI credentials and the URL with the correct value.

mot --username admin --password password --url http://localhost:8080 get torrents

export MOT_USERNAME=admin
export MOT_PASSWORD=password
export MOT_URL=http://localhost:8080
mot get torrents

By default, mot looks for its configuration in ~/.mot.yaml. A different location may be specified by setting the --config flag or the MOT_CONFIG environment var.

Example ~/.mot.yaml:

username: "admin"
password: "password"
url: "http://localhost:8080"

Add a torrent from a file:

mot add torrent -f path/to/torrent.torrent

Add a torrent from a magnet link:

mot add torrent --url magnet:?xt=urn:btih:...

List all torrents:

mot get torrents

Pause a torrent:

mot pause <torrent_hash>

Resume a torrent:

mot resume <torrent_hash>

Delete a torrent (and optionally data):

mot delete <torrent_hash> [--delete-data]

Help For detailed usage information, use the --help flag:

mot --help
mot <command> --help
