Distribyted is a torrent client written in Go that exposes torrent contents as standard filesystems via FUSE, WebDAV, or HTTP endpoints. It downloads files on demand with random read support using a fixed amount of disk space, and can even seek inside zip, rar, and 7zip archives.

Use cases

  • stream video or audio files directly from a torrent without downloading everything
  • explore huge public datasets over torrent and analyze them in Jupyter notebooks
  • mount a magnet link as a filesystem and read only the files you need
  • play ROM backups directly from a torrent file
  • share a dataset with others via a magnet link for instant access

When to avoid

  • you need a mature, bug-free torrent client for everyday downloading
  • you require strong Windows or macOS support, which is less tested
  • you need a polished web interface
