This repository implements BitTorrent-related packages and command-line utilities in Go. The emphasis is on use as a library from other projects. It's been used 24/7 in production by a downstream, private service since late 2014.
|
|
|
|
There is support for protocol encryption, DHT, PEX, uTP, and various extensions. See the package documentation for a more complete list. There are several data storage backends provided: blob, file, and mmap, and you can write your own, such as to store data on S3, or in a database. You can use the provided binaries in `./cmd`, or use `torrent` as a library for your own applications.
|
|
|
|
Many of the sub-packages can be used for other purposes: dht, bencode, and tracker, in particular.
|
|
|
|
## 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](https://godoc.org/github.com/anacrolix/torrent).
|
|
|
|
## Commands
|
|
|
|
Here I'll describe what some of the provided commands in `./cmd` do.
|
|
|
|
Note that [`godo`](https://github.com/anacrolix/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`.
|
|
|
|
$ mkdir mnt torrents
|
|
$ godo github.com/anacrolix/torrent/cmd/torrentfs -mountDir mnt -torrentPath torrents &
|
|
$ cd torrents
|
|
$ wget http://releases.ubuntu.com/14.04.2/ubuntu-14.04.2-desktop-amd64.iso.torrent
|
|
$ cd ..
|
|
$ ls mnt
