Storrent
========
Storrent is a BitTorrent implementation that is optimised for streaming
media: it allows you to watch a movie or to listen to music from a Torrent
without downloading it entirely.
Storrent works entirely in RAM: except for the DHT database, it will never
write anything to disk. It requires a fair amount of memory (1GB will do,
4GB is better).
Storrent was written for my own needs. It might or might not fit yours;
please do not get offended if I don't listen to your feature requests.
Installation
------------
go install github.com/jech/storrent
Running
-------
storrent &
Now go to
http://localhost:8088
and add a magnet link or a link to a torrent file. Wait a few minutes,
then hit reload; you should see a link to a playlist which you should
download and feed to your favourite media player.
Command-line options
--------------------
storrent -help
By default, storrent takes 1/2 of the total RAM on your machine. You may
tune this with the `-mem` command-line flag:
storrent -mem $((4 * 1024 * 1024)) &
I usually run storrent in a slightly more paranoid mode than the default:
storrent -encryption 5 -dht-passive
