This CLI program seems to work well, but since it is a binary I can’t see what it is (presumably) streaming torrents from. It’s easy and fast and has an extensive library, which is good. I’m not good enough at coding to dig through the git repo to really determine if this is safe. So, while this tool seems to do what it describes - I can’t monitor traffic at all (if you have a way to do that on Arch, please let me know!). Most of the Megathread is safe torrent sites, so I have no idea if this is pulling from those. Again, it does work, and easily - but I have no clue what the traffic is doing.


its part of the Debian packages (https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=ani-cli&searchon=names&suite=stable§ion=all), as well as some other distros packages, which is a huge green flag for me. in the top of their readme it says “This tool scrapes the site allmanga.”, so you should take a look at that site for more info on how it gets the anime.
Thanks. This was really helpful.
