This project is an advanced, multifunctional Telegram bot built using Python to automate torrent downloads and efficiently manage cloud storage uploads. The bot integrates multiple cloud storage services such as Google Drive and MEGA, providing users with a seamless way to download torrents and upload files directly to the cloud. It offers an intuitive and accessible interface via Telegram, allowing users to interact with the bot using simple commands.

Technologies Used

Programming Language:
  • Python
Telegram Bot API:
  • Python-telegram-bot library
Cloud Storage APIs:
  • Google Drive API
  • MEGA API
Torrent Management:

libtorrent library for handling torrent downloads

Task Scheduling:

Celery and Redis for background tasks and job management

Storage:

SQLite/MySQL for tracking user preferences and file metadata

Key Features & Contributions:

1. Torrent Download Management:
  • Implemented torrent downloading functionality using the libtorrent library, allowing users to add magnet links or torrent files via Telegram commands.
  • Added real-time progress updates so users can track the download status (e.g., percentage complete, file size, estimated time remaining).
2.Cloud Upload Functionality:
  • Integrated Google Drive and MEGA APIs to allow users to upload downloaded torrent files directly to their cloud storage accounts.
  • Designed a flexible upload system where users can choose their preferred cloud service or upload to multiple services simultaneously.
3.User Authentication for Cloud Services:
  • Implemented OAuth 2.0 authentication for Google Drive, ensuring secure and personalized access for each user.
  • Used the MEGA API for secure login and storage management, allowing users to store files without needing to manually access the cloud interface.
4.Background Task Management:
  • Used Celery and Redis to handle torrent downloads and cloud uploads in the background, ensuring the bot remains responsive during long-running tasks.
  • Implemented task queues and job prioritization to handle multiple requests from different users efficiently.
5. Telegram Bot Commands and User Interface:
  • Designed an intuitive set of Telegram commands for managing torrent downloads, such as /addtorrent for adding torrent links, /status for checking download progress, and /upload for transferring files to cloud services.
  • Developed a user-friendly inline button interface that simplifies interactions, enabling users to select files, choose cloud services, and monitor tasks without needing to remember complex commands.
6.File Management and Organization:
  • Added features for organizing and managing files, such as renaming files before upload, choosing specific folders in the cloud storage for each file, and deleting files after upload.
  • Integrated file compression for large torrents, allowing users to compress files into zip archives before uploading them to save space in their cloud storage.
7. Notifications and Status Updates:
  • Set up push notifications to keep users informed about the status of their downloads and uploads. Users receive automatic updates when a torrent is fully downloaded or when an upload is complete.
  • Configured error handling and notifications to alert users of any issues, such as connection failures or authentication errors.
8. Security and Access Control:
  • Implemented user authentication and access control mechanisms to ensure that only authorized users can interact with the bot and manage downloads or uploads.
  • Ensured secure handling of user credentials and cloud API tokens by encrypting sensitive data in the database.
Challenges Overcome
  • Handling Large Files: Managing large torrent files and cloud uploads presented a challenge, particularly with bandwidth limitations and timeouts. I implemented chunked file uploads and resume functionality to overcome these challenges, ensuring uploads are reliable and efficient.
  • Multi-Service Integration: Integrating multiple cloud storage services while keeping the interface simple for users required careful planning. I built a flexible architecture that abstracts the cloud service interactions, allowing easy addition of new cloud providers in the future.

The Multifunctional Telegram Bot has proven to be a powerful tool for users who regularly download torrents and upload large files to the cloud. Its easy-to-use interface and seamless integration with popular cloud services such as Google Drive and MEGA make it an indispensable utility for efficient file management. The bot’s background processing and real-time notifications further enhance user experience, providing a smooth and reliable solution for managing large downloads and cloud transfers.
