## About The Project
![Distribyted Screen Shot][product-screenshot]
2021-10-08 09:52:37 +00:00
Distribyted is an alternative torrent client.
2021-11-29 10:53:37 +00:00
It can expose torrent files as a standard FUSE, webDAV or HTTP endpoint and download them on demand, allowing random reads using a fixed amount of disk space.
2020-07-31 08:57:51 +00:00
2021-10-08 09:52:37 +00:00
Distribyted tries to make easier integrations with other applications using torrent files, presenting them as a standard filesystem.

2021-11-29 10:53:37 +00:00
**Note that distribyted is in beta version, it is a proof of concept with a lot of bugs.**

## Use Cases
2020-08-03 09:21:12 +00:00
2020-08-03 09:26:39 +00:00
- Play **multimedia files** on your favorite video or audio player. These files will be downloaded on demand and only the needed parts.
2020-08-03 09:21:12 +00:00
- Explore TBs of data from public **datasets** only downloading the parts you need. Use **Jupyter Notebooks** directly to process or analyze this data.
2021-11-29 10:55:34 +00:00
- Give access to your latest dataset creation just by sharing a magnet link. People will start using your data in seconds.
2020-08-03 09:21:12 +00:00
- Play your **ROM backups** directly from the torrent file. You can have virtually GBs in games and only downloaded the needed ones.

Some areas need more care than others:
2021-11-18 19:36:07 +00:00
- Windows and macOS tests and compatibility. I don't have any easy way to test distribyted on these operating systems.
2021-11-29 10:53:37 +00:00
- Web interface. Web development is not my _forte_ .
- Tutorials. Share with the community your use case!
