Somtimes I wonder how many Kieran's are there. Can't be just one.
It's a Torrent thing!?

Yep torrents on nostr
π
β‘οΈ
NIP7 only
Im so excited
Already added a torrent. Adding from magnet does not seem to work. You should add a DMCA page to tell lawyers to π themselves
So this is like a nostr-based piratebay?
I predict this will be one of the most useful and popular nostr use cases: uncensorable torrent trackers and indexes.

Nice! In the nevent, might it be better for "author" to say "pubkey" like in regular events?

How did yoy search? Just witty a keyword?
Why not use NIP-94?
How to add a torrent, please?
Does it work in Spring browser? I opened it there. It opened. But the search is not helping. How to search a torrent? Just any keyword does it?
Awesome project. Wow.
Thanks

Did you try it? A Nostr app for torrents.

At this rate weβre gonna need to register a new .str TLD
Can't represent multiple files
no.str
I didn't. There's nothing to search yet. Theres only 4 torrents right now.
I understand. Thank you. π«
Beautiful πβ οΈπ€π»

What is this
Pretty cool. Will you OSS it?
Also, where are the trackers coming from? There's nothing inside the nostr event
Trackers are baked into client rn, generating magnet on client.

Finally a torrent site that works! Thanks Kieran π
If I write a script to download a bunch of torrents from a decent site and upload them to dtan, is that going to bog you down?
Yea searching doesnt work rn, so i would not recommend this, later when search is working its a good idea
What about it isn't working? The tags? Seems to search characters just fine.
Yea only the full description can be searched not the title, so the full content must have the correct info for search to work
YES
Site's down. π’
nevermind
Where's the data stored?

@Kieran I was just thinking about this concept the other day, awesome work! The way I pictured it, you could crawl the DHT to find torrents using BitMagnet, and then use something like dtan.xyz as the front end to search the results and have a page for them.
This way, both the torrent discovery and front end are decentralized!

Added!

Would be nice to have a client that would autozap seeders and publishers as a reward for their bandwidth and content distribution.

Torrents on Nostr
Piratestr Baystr π€£
Torrent metadata is stored on Nostr, historically, when one of the main torrent sites get shut down, all the metadata is lost or fragmented, using nostr means that its extremely easy to replicate and serve the metadata.
question:
How can I tag with DTAN so that I have a structure like: audio > music > flac
I only have radio inputs where I can only select one category.
Do I have to tag the torrent itself somehow. It's all new to me too.
Yea just select one of the tags, some of them are tiered so you have more specific tags like FLAC under audio which gives you "audio>music>flac" in the tags or less specifically selecting Music will just give you "audio>music".
Pick the most specific category.
dtan.onion maybe?
Legendary.
Information longs to be free.

Well, that's one way to test Nostr's resiliency against censorship / law enforcement...

How are you crawling the DHT?
The nostr possibilities are limitless
The essence of the internet is decentralization
@Kieran can you create a NIP-89 definition for this app? I want to be able to redirect a user to
https://nostrapp.link/ and have it open dtan.xyz
What can we do with this?
List and search for torrents
Too late, lol nostr piracy issues here we come!
That's what IAM talking about, πππ
Now we need incentives to keep people seeding. Maybe lightning or cashu can do this?
@Kieran I think it would make sense to add ...
- an optional cover / title image to the torrent event. Thats would allow to build a more visual UI.
- the tracker announce urls from the torrent-file, so they can be added to the generated magnet link as well.

@hzrd149
Having a cover image would be great. we could probably use the "image" tag already used in NIP-23

I love this and posted about such an idea some time ago. Iβll be extremely curious to see how it evolves. Please keep us abreast of new developments
Do you intend on supporting RSS in a way that the *arr suite of software would make use of?
Using Cloudflare?
Disappointing!
