magnetico is a self-hosted BitTorrent DHT search engine suite consisting of magneticod, an autonomous DHT crawler and metadata fetcher, and magneticow, a lightweight web interface. It lets users discover torrents directly via the BitTorrent DHT without relying on any centralised trackers or websites.

Use cases

  • search torrents without a centralised site
  • crawl the BitTorrent DHT for magnet links
  • self-host a private torrent search engine
  • fetch torrent metadata without trackers
  • run a decentralised torrent indexer at home

When to choose

  • you want torrent discovery with no central authority
  • you need a lightweight, near-zero-config self-hosted search
  • you prefer static binaries or Docker with no root required

When to avoid

  • you need active maintenance or support - the project is archived
  • you want a polished web UI with rich features
  • you need tracker-based or private torrent support
