Data Hoarder

We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

Hi all,

I like service like bitsearch to but they are often offline and I would like to create my own for some SQL wrangling.

So how can I go about downloading all existing torrents / magnets? Preferably with metadata, but otherwise I can just ping every torrent / magnet for metadata :D But that would take a while.

(just to be sure: just torrents, not the files they contain)
