Mainline

Simple, robust, BitTorrent's Mainline DHT implementation.

This library is focused on being the best and simplest Rust client for Mainline, especially focused on reliable and fast time-to-first-response.

It should work as a routing / storing node as well, but if you want to run a reliable node to support the network, you might be better off running libtorrent for now.
