It can expose torrent files as a standard FUSE mount or webDAV endpoint and download them on demand, allowing random reads using a fixed amount of disk space.
- FUSE: Other applications can access to torrent files directly as a filesystem.
- WebDAV: Applications that supports WebDAV can access torrent files using this protocol. It is recommended when distribyted is running in a remote machine or using docker.
Distribyted can show some kind of files directly as folders, making it possible for applications read only the parts that they need. Here is a list of supported, to be supported and not supported formats.
- zip: Able to uncompress just one file. The file is decompressed to a temporal file sequentially to make possible seek over it. The decompression stops if no one is reading it.
- tar: Seek to any file and inside that files using a [modified standard library](https://github.com/ajnavarro/go-tar). Not useful on `.tar.gz` files.
- 7zip: Similar to Zip. Need for a library similar to [zip](https://github.com/saracen/go7z).
- xz: Only worth it when the file is created using blocks. Possible library [here](https://github.com/ulikunitz/xz) and [here](https://github.com/frrad/bxzf).
