BTSU

What is BTSU ?

BTSU is a torrent website project, powered by p2pspider and django.

Online Demo: BTSU Torrents

Step1: Get Torrents from DHT Network

1. Install Node.js

   sudo apt-get install nodejs nodejs-legacy npm -y
   

2. Install dependent packages

   cd p2pspider
   npm install -g
   
   # if encountered error - Cannot find module, please use:
   npm install
   

3. Install pm2 and run index.js with pm2 cluster mode

   sudo npm install pm2 -g
   cd p2pspider
   sudo pm2 start index.js -i 0
   

Step2: Create Torrent Database with Torrents

All torrent files which get from DHT Network will be saved in p2pspider/torrents, need to use transmission to parse them and save hash, name, magnet and info into database.

1. Install transmission

   sudo apt-get install transmission-cli -y
   

2. Parse torrents and save to database

   # python utils/tor2db.py <torrents_folder> <database_path>
   
   python utils/tor2db.py p2pspider/torrents btsu/btsu/torrents.db
   

3. If you already have old torrents.db which created in the past, and you want to merge it with your current one

   # python utils/mergedb.py <a.db> <b.db>
   
   python utils/mergedb.py torrents.db old_torrents.db
   

Step3: Setup your BTSU

BTSU is a django project, please:

1. install Django

   pip install Django
   
   # or install from requirements.txt
   
   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

2. update the TOR_DB_PATH and add your server ip into ALLOWED_HOSTS in btsu/btsu/settings.py before you run the server.

   # python {your_code_path}/btsu/manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:{your_port}
   
   python btsu/btsu/manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:1234
   

Step4: Keep BTSU Running

keep_running.sh is a script which can keep the BTSU running and restart it when the server down.

Please update the {your_code_path} inside before you use it.

Step5: Watch New Torrent and Update Database

fs_watchdog.py is a script which can watch torrents folder and update database while get new torrent. You need to install watchdog before use it.

pip install watchdog

# or install from requirements.txt

pip install -r requirements.txt

# then

python fs_watchdog.py <torrent_folder> <database>

Step6: Download Magnet through Transmission-Web

Now BTSU support download magnet through transmission-web.

Please setup TRANSMISSION_USER, TRANSMISSION_PWD, TRANSMISSION_WEB and set TRANSMISSION_SET = True in settings.py then you can add magnet link to your transmission-daemon.
