About The Project
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.
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.
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.
- Play your ROM backups directly from the torrent file. You can have virtually GBs in games and only downloaded the needed ones.
