I was looking for a node.js implementation to query a torrent tracker (http, udp or whatever) to get seeds, peers and downloads

What I found was only a tracker server implementation, and before implementing it myself I ask here if anybody has something similar.

I've implemented a bitTorrent client in node.js which will hit a http tracker. my repo is https://github.com/rtjoseph11/nTorrent. if you look in the utils file the tracker request is there. for a detailed explanation of what to include in a request go to https://wiki.theory.org/BitTorrentSpecification

  • great ! After a short look, i guess you implemented only the http query, right? – darioguarascio Jul 11 '13 at 08:20
  • yea I only implemented http. There is a udp spec online as well that I'm going to use. Thats probably next up in terms of features for me. – Tucker Joseph Jul 22 '13 at 21:37
