A simple BitTorrent client written in Rust.

This project is a command-line BitTorrent client that can decode torrent files, inspect their contents, and download files from peers.

• Decode bencoded strings.
• View information about .torrent files.
• Discover peers from a tracker.
• Perform handshakes with peers.
• Download single or multiple pieces of a file.
• Download files from magnet links.

• Rust and Cargo installed.

cargo build --release

The client is operated through a series of subcommands.

Decode a bencoded string:

./torrentor decode "<encoded_string>"

Show information about a torrent file:

./torrentor info <path/to/your.torrent>

List peers for a torrent:

./torrentor peers <path/to/your.torrent>

Perform a handshake with a peer:

./torrentor handshake <path/to/your.torrent> <peer_ip:port>

Download a single piece:

./torrentor download_piece -o <output_path> <path/to/your.torrent> <piece_index>

Download the full file from a torrent:

./torrentor download -o <output_path> <path/to/your.torrent>

Download from a magnet link:

./torrentor magnet_download -o <output_path> "<magnet_link>"
