Have you ever thought of downloading a Torrent and saving it directly to Google Drive? I found one trick to do this using Google Colab and you will be able with 2 lines of code. First open [Google Colab](https://colab.research.google.com/notebooks/intro.ipynb) and click ‘New Python 3 Notebook’. If you have ever used Jupyter Notebook you know what to do. Open Runtime and change runtime type to GPU ( be sure that you are using Python 3). ![image](https://onehack.st/uploads/default/original/3X/a/1/a142ffb9b613ba758fe9c3660ee0b67b6c8a689e.png) after this you look at the right and press connect, choose hosted runtime ![image](https://onehack.st/uploads/default/original/3X/0/c/0c2c8cf20df0dbceb4afd9b888afae7abee2c534.png) wait until ok ![image](https://onehack.st/uploads/default/original/3X/5/b/5b28ce2916142a4ee232dd36b6b77c049bfb3d73.png) Go to left side bar and choose Files in menu and MOUNT DRIVE Execute that script and you will get the link to auth your account. Click the link, select your account that you want to use as a google drive storage. Allow the permission and you will get the code to auth your Gdrive. Copy the code, back to your Notebook, paste the code in the box under the sentence ‘Enter your authorization code:’, then click enter. ![image](https://onehack.st/uploads/default/original/3X/6/b/6bd220092408ed6f2ae939d554db7c026e92ffdf.png) If is ok you will see you will see your drive in the sidebar by expand ‘drive’ folder Now install transmission-cli and you can download torrent with command line using transmission-cli. If you often use Linux and prefer to use other programs besides transmission-cli, go for it. Install transmission-cli by executing this command in block code. line of code !apt-get install transmission-cli wait install complete Now you are able to start your torrent download Let’s see, ‘/content/drive/My Drive’ is your root Gdrive folder. If you want to download the file to subfolder, just add the name of the subfolder at the end. Here is how to download torrent use this code and your torrent link !transmission-cli -w ‘/content/drive/My Drive’ [https://the](https://the) place with torrent.any/download/name of file.torrent Wait until your file is downloaded and you will see the file in your drive. ps: you can change the location whre you will put the file, and you also can use magnet link Very easy and also very fast ---

Hi Ok This I can help When you call Google Colab, you have Runtime up, ok? So you can go and press your mouse in it that will open some options, has one that says: Change Runtime type, when you get in this option you will see that you will open a window and there you need to put Python 3 and than in hadware acelarator you put GPU, and this is all that you need. ---

Nope, I think that maybe Google made changes in what they are offering theses days, since has more than 6 months that I do not work with it. Anyway later today I will check this ---

> “/content/drive/Shared Drives” I believe it’s “Team Drives” instead of Shared Drives.

Guys, just to say, I used to use this method but Google simply restricts you after certain amount of usage (network usage). Even they won’t let you connect to the normal backend, let alone the GPU one. After around one month, they lifted my restriction. So be careful when using Colab to download torrent. ---
