magnetW
[已失效，不再维护]
magnetW was a cross-platform desktop app that searched for magnet links across multiple torrent sites in one unified interface. The project is no longer maintained and the author states it is no longer valid.
magnetW is a desktop application for searching magnet links, the kind used to download files via torrent-style protocols. The project ran on macOS, Windows, and Linux. It fetched search results from external source sites and presented them in one place, functioning as a unified front-end for magnet link discovery.
The README is written almost entirely in Chinese and is brief. It notes that the project has no affiliated chat groups, no donation channels, and no advertising. The repository was described as open source and free. The author included a disclaimer stating the tool was intended for learning about web scraping techniques, and that all search results were pulled from their original source sites.
The project is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0, which requires that any modified versions distributed over a network must also be open source, must not include advertising or charge money, must credit the original project, and must carry the same license.
The repository heading and description both state the project is no longer valid and no longer maintained. No further development or support is expected.
