BitTorrent Client (with 🧲 support!)

A command-line BitTorrent client implementing BEP 3: The BitTorrent Protocol Specification (torrent file support) and BEP 9: Extension for Peers to Send Metadata Files (magnet link support).

💡 Interested in how this works under the hood? Check out the wiki!

Quickstart

First build the btclient binary:

go build

Next, either download a torrent starting from a magnet link:

./btclient -type=magnet sample.magnet

Or download a torrent starting from a .torrent file:

./btclient -type=torrent sample.torrent

CodeCrafters for their sample .torrent and .magnet files.
