A cross-platform BitTorrent search engine for desktop and web servers that crawls the DHT network and indexes torrents for full-text search. It includes an integrated torrent client, encrypted P2P search between clients, and a REST/WebSocket API for headless server use.
Use cases
- search for torrents without trackers
- index torrents from the DHT network
- run a self-hosted torrent search server
- full-text search across torrent names and files
- download torrents with a built-in client
- share torrent indexes between peers over P2P
- filter torrent search results by size and seeders
When to choose
- you want a desktop torrent search tool that works without central trackers
- you need a self-hosted torrent search server with an API
- you want encrypted P2P search across multiple Rats clients
- you need a portable torrent database you can export and merge
When to avoid
- you only need a regular torrent client without search
- you want to search private tracker sites
- you need a lightweight CLI-only indexer with no GUI
- your platform is not Windows, Linux, or macOS
