Show HN: CineCLI – Browse and torrent movies directly from your terminal

A command-line “movie button” just dropped: CineCLI lets you search films, peek details, and launch torrents right from your keyboard. The dev says the YTS data source is green and working, and the interface is clean and quick. But the real show is in the comments, where the audience split like a summer blockbuster twist. One camp is clapping—“Thank you!,” wrote a happy user—while another brought the salt shaker. A self-appointed quality cop slammed YTS as “bottom of the barrel,” gatekeeping the craft and asking who this is even for. Meanwhile, a nervous voice asked if this breaks internet provider rules and how to keep it “less obvious,” prompting an oh-no-you-didn’t ripple as folks side-eyed the legal line. Others offered practical vibes: a TV-friendly comparison to Stremio with the Torrentio plugin, plus a smart suggestion to scan for malicious files before downloading—because nothing ruins movie night like malware. The creator is in the thread asking for feedback, which only amps the energy. Verdict: CineCLI is a slick toy for terminal lovers, but the crowd is torn between “cool tool,” “bad source,” and “watch your ISP.” The popcorn is hot, and so are the takes.
