A bittorrent mainline dht crawler that fetch torrents files via the magnet system or torcache. It runs multiple instance of the dht concurrently to be able to feed a database from the torrents currently downloaded within the dht.

- python-chardet
- python-psutil
- btdht (linked as submodule)
- cython (for btdht)
- datrie (for btdht, linked as submodule)
First, you'll need to compile the btdht and datrie modules. Go in the datrie
subdirectory and run ./setup.py build. Do the same in the python-btdht
subdirectory.
Copy config_sample.py to config.py and edit to reflect your db settings.
Make sure your torrents table has all the needed columns. You can use sql/update.sql
to update your torrents table from an openbay install. Otherwise, use sql/schema.sql
to create it. Beware that sql/schema.sql will destroy existing torrents table before
recreating it.
Then create the directories torrents_dir, torrents_done, torrents_archive, and
torrents_new as you specified them in config.py
Run ./crawler.py to start crawling the dht and ./feed.py to feed the database
with discovered torrents.
Moreother ./feed.py will send the hash of new discovered torrents to others
running ./feed.py and scrape torrents agains udp://open.demonii.com:1337
./feed.py will insert the torrents in the 'other' category using the torrent
name as name, the list of files as description and try to upload it on torcache.
