What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-30, confidence not recorded
A Go library implementing the BitTorrent DHT protocol (BEP-3, 5, 9, 10) with two modes: a standard DHT server and a crawling mode for harvesting torrent metadata. It can power BitTorrent search engines like BTDigg.
Use cases
- run a standard BitTorrent DHT node in Go
- crawl the DHT network to collect torrent metadata
- build a BitTorrent search engine
- resolve infohashes to torrent metadata files
- listen for announce_peer events to discover active torrents
When to choose
- you need a Go implementation of the BitTorrent DHT protocol
- you want to build a DHT crawler or torrent metadata indexer
- you need both standards-compliant and crawling modes
When to avoid
- you need NAT traversal, which is not implemented
- you need a actively maintained project with recent releases
- you want a full BEP-3 implementation
