I've had one running for over a year now, it's replaced my usage of regular torrent sites completely, there is a lot of junk, and it gets stale, but it's still a better experience than most of the public trackers out there IMO
How much space do you need to store the index?
Bitmagnet - https://bitmagnet.io/ - does exactly that. I left it running for a few weeks and then stopped the crawler. Didn't expect much, but still somewhat disappointed by the garbage it reeled in.
why the hell does that require a postgres database instance? has no one heard of sqlite? "It's just `docker compose up` dude." that's not excuse for unnecessary complexity. software for a single person should be a single binary that anyone can run how they choose. If they want to use Docker, great. If they want to run it in a terminal, great. If they want to run it on a server, great. If they want to run it on their…

Distributed hash table - ButTorrent extension for discovering torrent's seeders by advertising its hash across known peer pool, think of it as a distributed tracker. Contrary to traditional way of asking a known tracker for peers of that torrent. Its algorithm is very elegant, using binary search on peers' and torrents' hashes, narrowing down to peers that are more likely to be seeders (or at least know some). https:…

I'm starting to upload everything very soon. I have >4million magazines here so far I think. Feel free to email me on my profile :)

probably worth adding some ML filter to it because yeah, most of the bulky stuff in bittorrent is always going to be garbage - a lot like the internet generally, the value is in filtering the good stuff out
