BitTorrentStorage
Why?
BitTorrentStorage gives you torrent files random access:
var magnetLink = MagnetLink.Parse(
"magnet:?xt=urn:btih:84A7A22AE870281D9E9FC1A1D1B27E6EFE500242&tr=http%3A%2F%2Fbt.t-ru.org%2Fann%3Fmagnet";
);
var cacheDir = Path.Join(Path.GetTempPath(), "BitTorrentStorage");
var config = new BitTorrentStorageConfig(cacheDir);
using var btsStorage = BtsClient.Initialize(config);
Console.WriteLine("Initializing the torrent.");
using var torrentManager = await btsStorage.OpenMagnetLink(magnetLink);
var file = torrentManager.Torrent.Files.First();
await using var fs = torrentManager.OpenFileStream(file);
var ms = new MemoryStream();
await fs.CopyToAsync(ms);BitTorrentStorage.Fuse gives you a simple way to use tools like VLC:
// You need to run `sudo umount ~/mnt/bts` if you want to run this project again.
var mountPath = Path.Join(
Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.UserProfile),
"/mnt/bts"
);
Console.WriteLine("Starting BitTorrentStorage FUSE.");
Console.WriteLine($"Mounting to \"{MountPath}\".");
var fs = new BtsFs(torrentManager) { MountPoint = MountPath };
Directory.CreateDirectory(MountPath);
fs.Start();Notes
- BitTorrentStorage is not optimized.
- It needs to fetch the whole piece to return one byte in the piece for example.
- There is a hardcoded prefetch of 10 next pieces in
BtsFileStream. - There is no cache management. You need to call
BtsTorrentManager.Delete(file)yourself.
