Tips

• Results print directly to stdout — read the output, no JSON parsing needed
• English keywords give broader results ("Demon Slayer" over "鬼灭之刃")
• First run downloads ~33 packages into uv cache; subsequent runs are instant
• Downloads use BitTorrent with DHT and public tracker fallback
• When downloading from search results, copy the detail page URL and use --download "URL"
• Use -o <dir> to specify a custom download directory
