README
torrent
This repository implements BitTorrent-related packages and command-line utilities in Go. The emphasis is on use as a library from other projects. It's been used 24/7 in production by downstream services since late 2014. The implementation was specifically created to explore Go's concurrency capabilities, and to include the ability to stream data directly from the BitTorrent network. To this end it supports seeking, readaheads and other features exposing torrents and their files with the various Go idiomatic io
package interfaces. This is also demonstrated through torrentfs.
There is support for protocol encryption, DHT, PEX, uTP, and various extensions. There are several data storage backends provided: blob, file, bolt, mmap, and sqlite, to name a few. You can write your own to store data for example on S3, or in a database.
Some noteworthy package dependencies that can be used for other purposes include:
Installation
Install the library package with go get github.com/anacrolix/torrent
, or the provided cmds with go install github.com/anacrolix/torrent/cmd/...@latest
.
Library examples

. Data for read requests is fetched only as required from the torrent network, and stored at -downloadDir
.
$ mkdir mnt torrents
