golang-github-autobrr-go-torrent 1.1.1-1

Package Information

DescriptionBencode and metainfo utils for Go

Written as a replacement for github.com/anacrolix/torrent/metainfo and its bencode package in autobrr, where pulling in a full torrent client module was too heavy and its strict parsing rejected torrents that trackers actually serve. The packages keep the same names and layout, so migrating is usually just replacing the module prefix github.com/anacrolix/torrent with github.com/autobrr/go-torrent.

The scope is read-only on purpose: parse torrents, get the infohash, sizes, files and trackers. There is no torrent creation, no piece hashing and no magnet link support. BitTorrent v2 and hybrid torrents are supported for parsing, including correct sizes and piece-aligned file offsets from the v2 file tree.
