This is a starting point for Go solutions to the

["Build Your Own BitTorrent" Challenge](https://app.codecrafters.io/courses/bittorrent/overview).

In this challenge, you’ll build a BitTorrent client that's capable of parsing a

.torrent file and downloading a file from a peer. Along the way, we’ll learn

about how torrent files are structured, HTTP trackers, BitTorrent’s Peer

Protocol, pipelining and more.

**Note**: If you're viewing this repo on GitHub, head over to

[codecrafters.io](https://codecrafters.io) to try the challenge.

# Passing the first stage

The entry point for your BitTorrent implementation is in

`cmd/mybittorrent/main.go`. Study and uncomment the relevant code, and push your

changes to pass the first stage:

```sh

git add .

git commit -m "pass 1st stage" # any msg

git push origin master

```

Time to move on to the next stage!

# Stage 2 & beyond

Note: This section is for stages 2 and beyond.

1. Ensure you have `go (1.19)` installed locally

1. Run `./your_bittorrent.sh` to run your program, which is implemented in

   `cmd/mybittorrent/main.go`.

1. Commit your changes and run `git push origin master` to submit your solution

   to CodeCrafters. Test output will be streamed to your terminal.
