powers all platforms. Platform-specific native code handles networking and disk I/O, while the core protocol logic remains shared and tested across environments.\n\n- **Desktop**: Tauri (Rust) — lightweight native window, no Electron. Small download, low memory footprint.\n- **Android**: Native Kotlin + Jetpack Compose UI. The engine runs in-process via QuickJS with JNI bindings for I/O.\n- **Extension**: Runs in the browser with a Rust sidecar (io-daemon) for disk and network access.\n- **Node / CLI**: Node.js host and command-line tooling built on the same engine for daemon, streaming, and test workflows.\n\n## Features\n\n### BitTorrent Protocol\n- ✅ Full BitTorrent protocol implementation\n- ✅ Protocol encryption (MSE/PE)\n- ✅ Web seeds from `.torrent` `url-list` and magnet `ws` sources (BEP 19)\n- ✅ Seeding and leeching\n- ✅ Tit-for-tat choking algorithm\n- ✅ Optimistic unchoking\n- ✅ Rarest-first piece selection\n- ✅ Endgame mode\n- ✅ Request pipelining\n- ✅ SHA1 piece verification\n- ✅ Fast extension (BEP 6)\n- ✅ Extension protocol (BEP 10)\n- ✅ Metadata exchange / magnet resolution (BEP 9)\n\n### Networking\n- ✅ UPnP port mapping\n- ✅ DHT (Distributed Hash Table)\n- ✅ PEX (Peer Exchange)\n- ✅ UDP and HTTP trackers\n- ✅ IPv4 and IPv6\n\n### Performance\n- ✅ Native host for fast networking and disk I/O\n- ✅ File skipping and priorities\n- ✅ Streaming-aware piece prioritization for playback\n- ✅ Bandwidth throttling\n- ✅ Connection limits\n\n### User Experience\n- ✅ Traditional torrent client UI\n- ✅ Customizable interface\n- ✅ Super responsive\n- ✅ Dark mode\n- ✅ Drag and drop torrents\n- ✅ Click magnet links to add\n- ✅ Stream media before download completes\n- ✅ Installable search plugins for in-app torrent search\n- ✅ Per-torrent and global statistics\n\n## About\n\nJSTorrent started as a [Chrome App](https://github.com/kzahel/jstorrent-legacy-app), was rebuilt as a Chrome Extension when Apps were deprecated, and has since expanded to Android and desktop platforms—all sharing the same TypeScript engine.\n\nWritten in TypeScript with comprehensive test coverage, including integration tests against [libtorrent](https://github.com/arvidn/libtorrent).\n\n## Development\n\nSee [DEVELOPMENT.md](DEVELOPMENT.md) for build instructions and project structure.\n\n## Documentation\n\n- [Search Plugins](docs/search-plugins.md) - Manifest structure, runtime API, result format, and the Internet Archive reference plugin\n\n## License\n\nMIT\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fkzahel%2Fjstorrent","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fkzahel%2Fjstorrent","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fkzahel%2Fjstorrent/lists"}
