  • 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.

  • dht

    dht is used by anacrolix/torrent, and is intended for use as a library in other projects both torrent related and otherwise (by anacrolix)
