Storrent========Storrent is a BitTorrent implementation that is optimised for streamingmedia: it allows you to watch a movie or to listen to music from a Torrentwithout downloading it entirely.Storrent works entirely in RAM: except for the DHT bootstrap database, itwill never write anything to disk. It requires a fair amount of memory(1GB will do, 4GB is better).Installation------------ git clonehttps://github.com/jech/storrent cd storrent CGO_ENABLED=1 go buildThis will yield a binary called `storrent` or `storrent.exe`.Running------- ./storrent & Now go to http://localhost:8088 and add a magnet link or a link to a torrent file. Wait a few seconds,then hit reload; you should see a link to a playlist which you maydownload and feed to your favourite media player.Command-line options-------------------- storrent -help By default, storrent takes 1/2 of the total RAM on your machine. You maytune this with the `-mem` command-line flag: storrent -mem $((4 * 1024 * 1024)) &By default, storrent attempts to open ports in your NAT box or firewallusing NAT-PMP, or, failing that, uPNP. You may disable port mapping withthe `-portmap` flag: storrent -portmap=offI usually run storrent in a slightly more paranoid mode than the default: storrent -force-encryption -dht passiveFor privacy reasons, storrent doesn't use trackers or webseeds by default;you may enable them on a torrent-by-torrent basis in the user interface.Should you wish to override the default, do: storrent -use-trackers -use-webseedsAuthor------Juliusz Chroboczek <https://www.irif.fr/~jch/>
