Features

• Asynchronous Data Fetching: The project uses asynchronous requests to fetch torrent data from an external API, ensuring non-blocking operations and better performance.
• Database Integration: The project utilizes Seedr API for managing torrent downloads, including adding torrents and renaming files.
• Flask Integration: The project integrates Flask for building the web interface, handling user inputs, and rendering templates.
• Efficient Data Fetching: Implemented efficient data fetching using asynchronous requests in get_tor.py, which allows concurrent fetching of torrent data.
• Seedr API Integration: The main.py file demonstrates how to integrate and utilize the Seedr API for adding and managing torrents, ensuring smooth operations.
• Logging: Comprehensive logging is set up in app.py to track user activities and application events, aiding in debugging and monitoring.
• Error Handling: Managing errors during data fetching and API interactions required robust error handling mechanisms to ensure smooth user experience.
• Concurrency Management: Ensuring that multiple asynchronous operations do not lead to race conditions or data corruption was a key challenge.
• File Management: Handling the renaming and organization of downloaded files required careful design and implementation to avoid conflicts and maintain consistency.
