Welcome to the torrentlib wiki!

torrentlib

Python helpers for BitTorrent tracker queries, peer communication, and metadata inspection.

torrentlib is not a full BitTorrent client. It can:

load .torrent metadata
announce to HTTP and UDP trackers
collect IPv4 and IPv6 peer lists
connect to peers that support the extension protocol
download torrent metadata from peers via ut_metadata
process peer exchange (ut_pex) messages

It does not manage piece downloads/uploads for complete content transfer.
