torrent
This repository implements BitTorrent-related packages and command-line utilities in Go.
There is support for protocol encryption, DHT, PEX, uTP, and various extensions. There are several storage backends provided, blob, file, mmap. You can use the provided binaries in ./cmd, or use torrent as a library for your own applications.
See also the mailing list, and the Gophers Slack channel.
Installation
Install the library package with go get github.com/anacrolix/torrent, or the provided cmds with go get github.com/anacrolix/torrent/cmd/....
Library example
There is a small example in the package documentation.
Commands
Here I'll describe what some of the provided commands in ./cmd do.
Note that godo that I invoke in the following examples is a command that builds and executes a Go import path, like go run. It's easier to use this convention than to spell out the install/invoke cycle for every single example.
torrent
Downloads torrents from the command-line.
$ go get github.com/anacrolix/torrent/cmd/torrent
$ torrent 'magnet:?xt=urn:btih:KRWPCX3SJUM4IMM4YF5RPHL6ANPYTQPU'

torrentfs
torrentfs mounts a FUSE filesystem at -mountDir. The contents are the torrents described by the torrent files and magnet links at -torrentPath. Data for read requests is fetched only as required from the torrent network, and stored at -downloadDir.
