A Node.js CLI tool that mounts torrents or magnet links as a filesystem in real time using torrent-stream and FUSE. Files appear in a mounted directory and stream on demand as they are accessed.
Use cases
- mount a magnet link as a local folder
- stream torrent files without downloading fully
- browse torrent contents in a file browser
- lazily download only the files I open from a torrent
- access torrent data as regular files
When to choose
- you want to stream or lazily access torrent contents as normal files on Linux or macOS
- you prefer a simple one-command CLI over a torrent client GUI
When to avoid
- you need Windows support
- you need an actively maintained tool (last release 2015)
- you need a full torrent client with seeding and UI features
