torrent VS docker-transmission-openvpn

I'm the author of https://github.com/anacrolix/torrent (started in 2013) and https://github.com/anacrolix/dht (started in 2015). I have a DHT indexer implementation I developed in 2021. It's currently closed source but available for use as part of https://www.coveapp.info/. I have found that after several hours the search is excellent and stays up to date with ease.

https://github.com/anacrolix/torrent/blob/master/cmd/torrent... does exactly that. Install with `go get github.com/anacrolix/torrent/cmd/torrent@latest`, and then run `torrent serve `.

Hit me up if you want to discuss using BitTorrent to back images. https://github.com/anacrolix/torrent

It has some small latency but only when resources are spread across many different infos. If you can constrain your resources to a single DHT traversal, it's pretty quick. I run several services that stream from BitTorrent on demand, using https://github.com/anacrolix/torrent which are surprisingly quick to start. However it does choke up when you try to start many different resources at once, which multiplies horizontally the number of DHT traversals, and per-torrent related overhead to get started.

It is solvable, but any solution that spreads resources out across many different targets in the DHT is slow. Basically anything that was inspired by BitTorrent, but isn't BitTorrent itself does this, because they get overly excited by deduplication of data.

For whatever reason the ARM version Transmission does not work well on my M2 laptop - it downloads quickly at first and then drops off to zero. I tried playing around with different settings, running their nightly builds, etc, and nothing fixed it for me. In the end I searched for other clients and found them all filled with ads and bloatware, and decided to use this excellent open source command line client instead:

https://github.com/anacrolix/torrent

It has a few frontends built on top of it (linked in the project readme), but I just run `torrent download ` and it downloads at full speed / with no issues.

The use case is in the refactoring in https://github.com/anacrolix/torrent/compare/smartban...lazylog. A lot of the parameters moved around as part of a performance optimization in https://github.com/anacrolix/log/compare/lazylog.

I'm looking for an embedded database/KV-store that supports a write-heavy workload of large blocks of bytes and some kind of eviction policy. I'm currently using sqlite3 with a bunch of triggers and the blob API, but it's not really suitable for write-heavy workloads. I've currently exposed the interface somewhat in https://github.com/anacrolix/squirrel, the primary use case is from https://github.com/anacrolix/torrent. My recent research suggests an LSM-based KV-store like rocksdb or leveldb, but those don't have great interfaces in Go, and don't seem to support an eviction policy as far as I can tell (which is surprising given they would be very well suited to it). There are some alternatives like buntdb, but those all look designed for smaller/string values.

I would try the absolute path of the script and see if that does it for you. I'm running transmission on docker using haugene/docker-transmission-openvpn and that's the absolute path within the container, but YMMV if you're running the program somewhere/somehow else.

I haven’t used GlueTUN so can’t help unfortunately but I do use this one - https://github.com/haugene/docker-transmission-openvpn and it seems easier and safer (the container stops if the VPN is down)

Both of the main docker images I know of are managed by 3rd parties so they don't get updated instantly. Looks like haugene/transmission-openvpn added 4.0.0 to their beta branch a few hours ago

Some vpns are built into docker containers, such as https://github.com/haugene/docker-transmission-openvpn

Look into docker containers that have kill switches like this one

It starts with use a vpn to download, the service is less than $2 per month. And if you want to get fancy, this git is sweet https://github.com/haugene/docker-transmission-openvpn

If you don't have a local server in your home you can leave connected to VPN 24/7 I'd recommend doing it all through a docker container on your computer. That'll let you keep it on VPN without needing to put everything else on VPN. You could even set up two docker containers. One for the VPN and one for the torrent client, then when you turn on VPN for your regular stuff on the machine you can tunnel through that VPN without needing two take up two device slots. Here's just one option for it. But there are tons of options pre built. https://github.com/haugene/docker-transmission-openvpn Alternatively you could always set up your own if you have the know how.
