func Open

func Open(path string) (TorrentFile, error)

Open parses a torrent file

func (*TorrentFile) DownloadToFile

func (t *TorrentFile) DownloadToFile(path string, peer string, local string, pathSelectionResponsibility string, pc *config.PeerDiscoveryConfig) error

DownloadToFile downloads a torrent and writes it to a file This function leeches all pieces of a torrent but never starts seeding. When DHT is enabled in the PeerDiscoveryConfig, the peer will still announce its presence to receive other peers. We therefore announces our presence on a port we are not listening to.
