RaBit

A pure Python asynchronous BitTorrent Client

Features

• HTTP and UDP tracker announces + compact response support (BEP 3, BEP 7, BEP 12, BEP 15, BEP 23)
• Download a multi-file torrent using all strategies (BEP 3, BEP 20)
• Download multiple torrents simultaneously
• Seeding + tracker updating in intervals
• Smart ban
• Location-based peer filtering
• Canonical peer priority for seeding (BEP 40)
• UPnP port forwarding with randomization
• User interface
• Compatible with Windows / Linux / macOS

Limitations

You won't be able to:

• Use protocol extensions
• Seed in ipv6
• Download / seed without an upnp-enabled router or seed from a double nat
• Download from magnet links
• Contribute to incoming connections during download (only to outgoing)

And lastly, RaBit is a learning project and not for production, so keep that in mind ;)

Usage and installation

Important

To mitigate unexpected behavior, use a python version equal or above 3.10

1. Go to src directory with cd RaBit/src

2. Install required libraries with pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Run with GUI: main.py

   Run without GUI: viewless.py (with args: seed: bool, torrent_path: str, result_path: str, skip_hash_check: bool)

Running reset.py can be helpful with a file-related problem.

Usage example

Downloading Linux Debian iso:

debian_demo.mp4
