Thanks to sidward35 for the code to get the watchlist from Letterboxd.

Taken from this project.

MagnetBox

Automatically find and download torrents through a Letterboxd users watchlist using 1337x and qBittorrent, in Python.

The code is not great and it's not meant to be easily extendable. Just a quick hacky codebase to make it more convenient for me to download stuff to my media server.

Requirements

• qBitTorrent
• Python 3.13.1

Python Requirements

• py1337x
• qbittorrent-api
• colorama
• beautifulsoup4

Install

1. Clone repository and enter folder:

git clone https://github.com/affeltrucken/MagnetBox; cd MagnetBox

---

3. Install requirements:

pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Make sure you enable Web-UI in qBitTorrent to allow automatic downloads:

• Open qBitTorrent
• Tools
• Options
• Web UI
• Web User Interface (Remote control)
• Change Password (if needed)

---

5. Edit configuration in magnetbox.py:

   Change the default Letterboxd username, save location, and qBitTorrent credentials as needed.

### CONFIGURATION ###
LETTERBOXD_USERNAME = "aldinsmajlovic"
MAX_TORRENT_SIZE_GB = 15.0

QBITTORRENT_HOST = "localhost"
QBITTORRENT_PORT = 8080
QBITTORRENT_USERNAME = "admin"
QBITTORRENT_PASSWORD = "password"
AUTHENTICATION_REQUIRED = False
TORRENT_CATEGORY_NAME = "MagnetBox"

TORRENT_SAVE_PATH = "D:/PLEX/MOVIES"
MAGNET_FILE = "saved_magnets.txt"
ALLOW_DUPLICATE_MAGNETS = False  # Set to True to add even if already saved
### END CONFIGURATION ###

---

4. Run script:

python magnetbox.py

---

Script should then get your watchlist, find the best torrent for each movie, and download them through qBitTorrent to the earlier specified save location.
