## What it is
bitmagnet is a self-hosted BitTorrent indexer, DHT crawler, content classifier and torrent search engine with a web UI, GraphQL API and Servarr stack integration. It crawls the DHT network to discover and enrich torrent metadata without relying on external trackers or indexers.

## Use cases
- self-host a torrent search engine
- crawl the DHT network to discover torrents
- index torrent metadata without external trackers
- classify torrents against movies and TV shows
- integrate a torrent index with Radarr, Sonarr or Prowlarr via Torznab
- search indexed torrents through a web UI or GraphQL API

## When to choose
- you want a self-contained, self-hosted torrent indexer that discovers content via DHT
- you want to feed your Servarr stack with a Torznab-compatible index you control
- you want a searchable local database of torrent metadata with a GraphQL API

## When to avoid
- you need a production-hardened, security-reviewed public service - it is alpha software with no security or scalability review
- you want to download or distribute torrent content - bitmagnet only handles metadata
- you cannot run a Postgres database or prefer a zero-dependency tool
