Library Genesis Desktop app, now with IPFS support
The source is available: https://github.com/libgenapps/LibgenDesktop
However, the repo has no license, and therefore is not free and open source. Technically that code is still proprietary. How much someone writing a libgen app would care if you forked their proprietary app is left as an exercise for the reader.

When downloading books from libgen using torrent method, the downloaded books have weird names, how to fix that?
You're not supposed to rename them. You're probably looking for https://github.com/libgenapps/LibgenDesktop/releases/tag/1.4.1

Transmisson BitTorrent Client
Easily the best aspect of Transmission is the fact that it can run as a daemon, accepting commands from anyone within network reach who has the right credentials. I use it as part of the books [1] tool (a CLI/TUI/GUI Library Genesis interface) through a helper script [2] to enable torrent download of individual publications from libgen torrents. This helper script provides commands like tm-ls (list active torrents), tm-add (add a torrent to the daemon) and tm-add-selective (get a single file or set of files from a torrent) provide a convenient interface for those who live on the command line and/or want to use Transmission from within other tools.

Library Genesis Desktop app, now with IPFS support
The ´Books' tool [1] has been doing the same for a long time as well, can be used anywhere where Bash runs and - given its shell-based nature - is eminently hackable. It comes with a CLI (named 'books'), TUI ('nbook' and 'nfiction') and GUI ('xbook' and 'xfiction') and supports both IPFS, Bittorrent as well as direct download. It can search on all fields.
