## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: abandoned
- function: search-engine, web-scraping, http-server, p2p
- domain: self-hosted, privacy, networking
- platform: windows, self-hosted, go
