Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.
btfs
- BTFS (BitTorrent Filesystem)

TabFS – a browser extension that mounts the browser tabs as a filesystem
Something in a similar vein: BTFS, mount a torrent file (or magnet link) as a read only drive https://github.com/johang/btfs

Did you know of the BitTorrent FileSystem?

BiglyBT is a feature filled, open source, ad-free, BitTorrent client
Some systems are more appropriate than just those options, but it requires player cooperation.
For instance on Android, NOVA Video Player supports torrent streaming. Or btplay from https://github.com/johang/btfs .
The way they work is better for the network, because it asks only for the N next MB from current position to be available ASAP, but the rest can be downloaded randomly to help the network like a standard client would do.

Or even better store data as an sqlite file that is full-text-search indexed. Then you can full-text search the torrent on demand: https://github.com/bittorrent/sqltorrent

How to circumvent Sci-Hub ISP block
"There was that project some guy posted a while back that used a combination of sqlite and partial downloads to enable searches on a database before it was downloaded all the way."

Distributed search engines using BitTorrent and SQLite
Interesting question. I looked at the source code to understand that.
SQLite knows where to look for when you open a SQLite database and you run a query, right? It just asks the underlying filesystem to provide N bytes starting from an offset using a C function, then it repeats the same operation on different portions of the file, it does its computation and everybody is happy.
The software relies on sqltorrent, which is a custom VFS for SQLite. That means that SQLite function to read data from a file stored in the filesystem is replaced by a custom function. Such custom code computes which Torrent block(s) should have the highest priority, by dividing the offset and the number of bytes that SQLite wants to read by the size of the torrent blocks. It is just a division.
