exatorrent is a self-hostable BitTorrent client written in Go, shipped as a single statically linked binary with a responsive Svelte web UI. It supports single and multi-user modes and allows torrented files to be downloaded and streamed via browser or media player over HTTP.

Use cases

• self-host a torrent client on a cloud server
• stream torrent files in the browser while downloading
• run a lightweight torrent client with no external dependencies
• manage torrents remotely through a web interface
• deploy a torrent client in Docker or Podman
• build a custom torrent client using its WebSocket API

When to choose

• you want a self-hosted torrent client with a web UI
• you need a single static binary that runs anywhere
• you want to stream files from torrents over HTTP
• you need multi-user access on a remote server

When to avoid

• you need a full-featured desktop torrent client like qBittorrent
• you require advanced torrent features such as sequential download tuning or plugin ecosystems
• you want a GUI-native application without a browser
