RustyBit

A simple CLI bittorrent client.

It also partially supports the DHT protocol.

Installation

cargo install rustybit

Usage

To download a torrent into the $(pwd)/.downloads folder, run the following command:

rustybit <torrent_path>

If you want to change the output directory, use this command instead:

rustybit <torrent_path> -o <output_dir_path>

Missing features

It currently misses the following features (and I'm not sure whether I would add them):

• Seeding torrents
• Extension protocol support
• Full DHT node
• Downloading multiple torrents in parallel
• Pausing/resuming torrents
• Proper GUI/TUI
