![Distribyted Screen Shot][product-screenshot]
Distribyted is an alternative torrent client.
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.
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.
Distribyted tries to make easier integrations with other applications using torrent files, presenting them as a standard filesystem.
**Note that distribyted is in alpha version, it is a proof of concept with a lot of bugs.**
**Note that distribyted is in beta version, it is a proof of concept with a lot of bugs.**
## Use Cases
- Play **multimedia files** on your favorite video or audio player. These files will be downloaded on demand and only the needed parts.
- Explore TBs of data from public **datasets** only downloading the parts you need. Use **Jupyter Notebooks** directly to process or analyze this data.
- Share your latest dataset creation just sharing a magnet link. People will start access your data in seconds.
- Play your **ROM backups** directly from the torrent file. You can have virtually GBs in games and only downloaded the needed ones.

## Contributing
Contributions are what make the open-source community such an amazing place to learn, inspire, and create. Any contributions you make are **greatly appreciated**.
Any contribution is welcome, but some areas need more care than others:
Some areas need more care than others:
- Windows and macOS tests and compatibility. I don't have any easy way to test distribyted on these operating systems.
- Web interface. Web development is not my _forte_.
- Tutorials. Share with the community your use case!

After executing and load all torrent or magnet files, a web interface will be available at `http://localhost:4444`
It contains information about the mounted routes and torrent files like download/upload speed, leechers, seeders...
You can also modify the configuration file and reload the server from `http://localhost:4444/config` .
### Configuration File
You can see the default configuration file with some explanation comments [here](https://github.com/distribyted/distribyted/blob/master/templates/config_template.yaml).
### Routes
Here there is a list of all available routes with their torrents and some info. You can add and remove torrents from here too.
### Servers
Servers is a way to generate magnet files from folders.
All servers configured using the config yaml file will be here.
When some data is changed on these folders, a new magnet URI will be generated.
You can share that magnet URI with anyone to share these files.

- 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.
#### To be supported
- HTTP: distribyted will support direct HTTP access to files.
- HTTP: A simple HTTP interface for all the available routes. You can acces it from `http://[HOST]:[PORT]/fs`
### _Expandable_ File Formats
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.
#### Supported
- 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.
- rar: Thanks to [rardecode](https://github.com/nwaples/rardecode/tree/experimental) experimental branch library, it is possible to seek through rar files.
- 7zip: Thanks to [sevenzip](https://github.com/bodgit/sevenzip) library, it is possible to read `7z` files in a similar way that is done using the `zip` implementation.
#### To Be Supported
- 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).
#### Not Supported
