Convert a Magnet Link to a Torrent File

Let's say you have a 5-minute video and you want to chop off a 29-second section from it. We'll assume here that you want to chop off the section that begins after 10 seconds into the video, and that your video file is named "Thriller".

First install Aria2 using these two commands:

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install aria2

Let's say you have a photo and you want to convert it into a video. We'll assume here that you want a 5-minute video, and that your photo file is named "Babyface" and the video file will be named "Thriller".

aria2c -d . --bt-metadata-only=true --bt-save-metadata=true --listen-port=6881 magnet-url

aria2c -d . --bt-metadata-only=true --bt-save-metadata=true --listen-port=6881 "magnet:?xt=urn:btih:c580af287f30b369cd4f94bf88ad9c7174f27cc9&dn=Anne.with.an.E.SEASON.01.S01.COMPLETE.720p.WEBRip.2CH.x265.HEVC-PSA&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.coppersurfer.tk%3A6969%2Fannounce&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.openbittorrent.com%3A6969%2Fannounce&tr=udp%3A%2F%2F9.rarbg.to%3A2710%2Fannounce&tr=udp%3A%2F%2F9.rarbg.me%3A2780%2Fannounce&tr=udp%3A%2F%2F9.rarbg.to%3A2730%2Fannounce&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.opentrackr.org%3A1337&tr=http%3A%2F%2Fp4p.arenabg.com%3A1337%2Fannounce&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.torrent.eu.org%3A451%2Fannounce&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.tiny-vps.com%3A6969%2Fannounce&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Fopen.stealth.si%3A80%2Fannounce"

A simpler method is to crop or scale like crop=550:764, but the above command will work with any input size.
