torrent

GoDoc

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: 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 public projects using torrent

Mobile

There's a branch called mobile that supports binding to torrent with the gomobile tool. It has some API changes as required by gomobile. Checkout the mobile branch, and bind as usual.

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. This first example does not use godo.

$ go get github.com/anacrolix/torrent/cmd/torrent
# Now 'torrent' should be in $GOPATH/bin, which should be in $PATH.
$ torrent 'magnet:?xt=urn:btih:KRWPCX3SJUM4IMM4YF5RPHL6ANPYTQPU'

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

torrent-magnet

Creates a magnet link from a torrent file. Note the extracted trackers, display name, and info hash.

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 links
  • IP Blocklists
  • Some IPv6
  • HTTP and UDP tracker clients
  • BEPs:
  • 3: Basic BitTorrent protocol
  • 5: DHT
  • 6: Fast Extension (have all/none only)
  • 7: IPv6 Tracker Extension
  • 9: ut_metadata
  • 10: Extension protocol
  • 11: PEX
  • 12: Multitracker metadata extension
  • 15: UDP Tracker Protocol
  • 20: Peer ID convention ("-GTnnnn-")
  • 23: Tracker Returns Compact Peer Lists
  • 27: Private torrents
  • 29: uTorrent transport protocol
  • 41: UDP Tracker Protocol Extensions
  • 42: DHT Security extension
  • 43: Read-only DHT Nodes
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:
