This repository is a refactor of anacrolix's, to simplify the API of the library, use more idiomatic code, improve horizontal scalability, remove extraneous dependencies, and to add in some extended functionality.
- smaller API surface. simplifying use, while still maintaining almost full functionality provided (some read ahead logic is broken, which is risky anyways due to the data being unvalidated).
- refactored the single lock used for all torrents out. this means the torrents do not contend with each other for the singe lock.
- removed a number of panic making the code safer to use (more to do here).
- ability to use arbitrary socket implementations, as long as they are IP/Port based.
- performance enhancements.
Install the library package with go get -u github.com/james-lawrence/torrent, or the provided cmds with go get -u github.com/james-lawrence/torrent/cmd/....
There are some small examples in the package documentation.
Communication about the project is through the issue tracker.
Downloads torrents from the command-line. This first example does not use godo.
$ go get github.com/james-lawrence/torrent/cmd/torrent
# Now 'torrent' should be in $GOPATH/bin, which should be in $PATH.
$ torrent 'magnet:?xt=urn:btih:KRWPCX3SJUM4IMM4YF5RPHL6ANPYTQPU'

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

$ cd torrents
