GooseTOR

Find magnet links (Torrents) through an easy to use interface that doesn't track you or tries to serve you invasive adverts.

Installation

Installation is simple and only takes a few minutes.
You'll need a working (localhost) server that works with PHP 8 or newer. cURL and common PHP modules as standard, and that's it.

• Download the zip file from Github.
• Extract and upload all files to your webserver, this can be in the document root or a subfolder.
  For example https://domain.tld/goosetor/ or simply https://domain.tld/.
• Copy goosetor.htaccess to .htaccess.
• Copy default-config.php to config.php.
• Open the config.php file and set your settings.
  Each setting is briefly explained in the file. There are a few settings for caching, what torrent quality to look for, and you set your shared access key here.
• For testing you can enable the ERROR_LOG and SUCCESS_LOG settings.
  This logs errors and successful runs to error.log and success.log in the root folder.

Usage

Visit: https://yourdomain.com/search.php?access=the-access-key
This page can be bookmarked for ease of use.

It's a search engine. Search for something, click a result to add the torrent to your bittorrent client. Or, if you use Transmission Web on a different computer you can enable support for it and all relevant result links will point to your Transmission Web setup. Check the 'help' link in the footer for more in-depth usage details.

GooseTOR is compatible with GooseRSS

GooseTOR supports GooseRSS, if you've enabled the feature in your config.php and GooseTOR detects a TV Show a share link will appear in the search results so you can subscribe to the TV Show.

GooseTOR is compatible with Transmission Web

In config.php you can enable support for Transmission Web. This sets up a special link to add clicked results directly to Transmission Web. Normally if you'd click a result the magnet link in it triggers your local Torrent Client to start downloading the content. With Transmission Web support enabled GooseTOR quickly negotiates a connection with it and adds the magnet to it. This briefly opens a popup/tab and on modern browsers should also close that tab after a second or two.
This process, other than the initial setup is completely automated for the highest ease of use.
