bakabt.me is a site that specialises in high-quality,
well-seeded and complete anime-related materials.

linuxtracker is a tracker for linux torrents,
including distro .iso files and software tarballs.

Nyaa.si is a drop-in replacements for the now
removed NyaaTorrents.

Installation

following link.

After you’ve done this you can add this plugin to qBittorrent by going:

Search tab 🡪 Search Plugins 🡪 Install a new one
Local File then select the plugin file
or
Web Link then insert the link you copied.

Or by manually copying the bakabt.py to the following location:

Downloading .torrent files instead of magnet links

This requires an extra step in that you have to manually edit the
nyaa.si file before (or after) installing it using
qBittorrent.

The plugin defaults to using magnet links, but in order to download torrent
files instead you can edit line 41:

    # Whether to use magnet links or download torrent files ###################
    #
    # Set to 'True' to use magnet links, or 'False' to use torrent files
    use_magent_links = True
    #
    ###########################################################################

by setting the use_magnet_links variable to False
(the capitalisation matters here) instead, search results will link to torrent
files going forward. Once you’ve installed any version >=1.2
any changes to this setting should take immediate effect.

These steps will have to be repeated every time you update the plugin, either
manually or through qBittorrent.

BakaBT

Because BakaBT requires your login info, this plugin requires a bit more work than most.

1. Firstly you’ll need an account
   (Admission currently closed)
2. Then you need to put your login information directly into the plugin file:

You can do this by editing these specific lines (lineno. 52:53).

    # Login information ######################################################
    #
    # SET THESE VALUES!!
    #
    username = "username"
    password = "password"
    ##########################################################################
    ...

Now replace the “username” and “password” with your username and password, surrounded by quotation marks.
So if your username is foobar and your password is bazqux these lines should read:

    ...
    # SET THESE VALUES
    #
    username = "foobar"
    password = "bazqux"
    ...

After this is done you can follow the same steps as with the other plugins.

F.A.Q

1. This plugin doesn’t require my torrent pass, does this plugin provide personalized torrents?

   Because the plugin logs you in for every search, this means that the torrent files you open using it are your
   personal ones. It’s effectively no different than if you’d visit the site and download the torrent manually.
