Description

Youtube dl download links in two files: audio and video then combine it together. But at the same time possible to create torrent files instead. Steps:

1. get actual links from youtube
2. create magnet with webseed using youtube links (I know they are temporary)
3. download content and on fly calculate sums/parts
4. create torrent file

If magnet link shared in short, it would be possible to start downloading and seeding youtube videos using torrents!

A little info. Torrent v1 files is a simple files list, then application decide block size, for example 1M, then read content of files as continuous stream, calculating checksums for every block. Then all this data get into torrent file. Also, file contains webseeds (https urls) which can be used to bootstrap downloading from http source. So, basically youtube magnet's is possible.

then share open torrent file locally and share magnet links with friends!
