xitorrent's Introduction

xitorrent

What's this?

xitorrent [X info torrent] generates a static image with data it gathers from various trackers about the torrent.
Example of how this might look:

Why in the flying fuck did I create this?

BECAUSE IT'S COOL

Okay, but why is there yumeko?

BEcause she is literally the coolest ever.

What about Ai???!?!

OMG! I cannot even express how awesome she is! I wish to be an idol one day. <3

No, not Artifical Intelligence, suckless you sucker.

Why is it called [X info torrent]

I don't know, sounded cool to me, I guess?

This is cool, how can I contribute?

Just open a PR, if it looks good and I like it I will merge it. Can be really anything. The only condition is that you write it under the GPLv3 license.

OMG, your code sucks!

Shhhh... PR please.. >.<

Compiling

Ok so compiling this shit is pretty easy, all you do it really just:

$ git clone https://github.com/authorisation/xitorrent
$ cd xitorrent & make
Optionally if you want to install it system-wide run:
$ sudo make install
If you use doas run it with doas, you should know this.

Side notes

Warning

Using this might reveal your IP address to peers.

Thanks to every library for allowing pseudo-programmers like me to use them.
I, shutdown.

xitorrent's Issues

BSD support

Make program compatible with BSD variants.

FreeBSD fails to compile due to outdated libtorrent(?)

Yumeko Asset not found

Add error handling for this

Maybe hardcode the file into the binary itself

Further permission checking

Further improve error handling when it comes to read/writing to specific directories

Seeders report -1

Quote from the libtorrent documentation:

if the tracker sends scrape info in its announce reply, these fields will be set to the total number of peers that have the whole file and the total number of peers that are still downloading. set to -1 if the tracker did not send any scrape data in its announce reply.
