Build Status GoDoc Coverage

This repository implements BitTorrent-related packages and command-line utilities in Go. The emphasis is on use as a library from other projects. It's been used 24/7 in production by a downstream, private service since late 2014.

There is support for protocol encryption, DHT, PEX, uTP, and various extensions. See the package documentation for a more complete list. There are several data storage backends provided: blob, file, and mmap, and you can write your own, such as to store data on S3, or in a database. You can use the provided binaries in ./cmd, or use torrent as a library for your own applications.

Many of the sub-packages can be used for other purposes: dht, bencode, and tracker, in particular.

Installation

Install the library package with go get github.com/anacrolix/torrent, or the provided cmds with go get github.com/anacrolix/torrent/cmd/....

Library example

There is a small example in the package documentation.

Other projects using Torrent

Commands

Here I'll describe what some of the provided commands in ./cmd do.

Note that the godo command which is invoked in the following examples builds and executes a Go import path, like go run. It's easier to use this convention than to spell out the install/invoke cycle for every single example.

torrent

Downloads torrents from the command-line.

$ go get github.com/anacrolix/torrent/cmd/torrent
$ torrent 'magnet:?xt=urn:btih:KRWPCX3SJUM4IMM4YF5RPHL6ANPYTQPU'
2015/04/01 02:08:20 main.go:137: downloaded ALL the torrents

torrentfs

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

$ mkdir mnt torrents
$ godo github.com/anacrolix/torrent/cmd/torrentfs -mountDir mnt -torrentPath torrents &
$ cd torrents
$ wget http://releases.ubuntu.com/14.04.2/ubuntu-14.04.2-desktop-amd64.iso.torrent

Documentation

Overview

Package torrent implements a torrent client. Goals include:

  • Configurable data storage, such as file, mmap, and piece-based.
  • Downloading on demand: torrent.Reader will request only the data required to satisfy Reads, which is ideal for streaming and torrentfs.

BitTorrent features implemented include:

  • Protocol obfuscation
  • DHT
  • uTP
  • PEX
  • Magnet
  • IP Blocklists
  • Some IPv6
  • UDP Trackers

ConfigDir

A Client has a configurable ConfigDir that defaults to $HOME/.config/torrent. Torrent metainfo files are cached at $CONFIGDIR/torrents/$infohash.torrent. Infohashes in $CONFIGDIR/banned_infohashes cannot be added to the Client. A P2P Plaintext Format blocklist is loaded from a file at the location specified by the environment variable TORRENT_BLOCKLIST_FILE if set. otherwise from $CONFIGDIR/blocklist. If $CONFIGDIR/packed-blocklist exists, this is memory- mapped as a packed IP blocklist, saving considerable memory.

Example 
package main

import (
	"log"

	"github.com/anacrolix/torrent"
)

func main() {
	c, _ := torrent.NewClient(nil)
	defer c.Close()
	t, _ := c.AddMagnet("magnet:?xt=urn:btih:ZOCMZQIPFFW7OLLMIC5HUB6BPCSDEOQU")
	<-t.GotInfo()
	t.DownloadAll()
	c.WaitAll()
	log.Print("ermahgerd, torrent downloaded")
}

Output:
Example (FileReader) 
package main

import (
	"github.com/anacrolix/missinggo"

	"github.com/anacrolix/torrent"
)

func main() {
	var (
		t torrent.Torrent
		f torrent.File
	)
	r := t.NewReader()
	defer r.Close()
	// Access the parts of the torrent pertaining to f. Data will be
	// downloaded as required, per the configuration of the torrent.Reader.
	_ = missinggo.NewSectionReadSeeker(r, f.Offset(), f.Length())
}
