Cthulhu

Cthulhu is a simple python CLI application that facilitates the streaming of torrents directly from 1337x. It uses webtorrent to stream video from magnet links directly.

Cthulhu is heavily inspired by Bugswriter's notflix, which was written using shell scripting. The differences between our programs aren't very stark. All in all, I wrote this program mainly for fun and practice.

Feel free to submit issues and feature requests.
