Real Movie Popularity

This is a demo project built in scope of Angular Attack hackathon.

How it works

The app shows real movie statistics based on downloads using BitTorrent protocol. It scrambles the data from one of the most popular torrent trackers, finds magnet links and uses peer discovery to find users who downloads particular movies. After that, it applies GeoIP to found address to show them on map.

It does not download any content, only metadata.
