This script rewrites direct links to .torrent files, as well as torrent links on ISOHunt and Mininova, so that they are downloaded using a user-specified web proxy. The slighty clunky txtor service is suggested as a web proxy by default, but you are encouraged to specify your own web proxy. This script is useful for downloading .torrent files from behind an Internet content filter. It only allows you to download .torrent files, not the expanded data they describe.

Changelog

  • March 23, 2008--v1.1:
    • This is still version 1.1. None of the code has changed. However, I had to rename this script at the request of proxify.com. Apparently, this script's previous name got their knickers in a twist.
  • December 17, 2007--v1.1:
    • Updated script to be called in response to the browser's load event, as per this recommendation.
  • November 12, 2007--v1.0:
    • Initial public release.
