# Bit-Torrent Client Using Golang
## Setup
1. **Initialize Go Modules:**
- Run the following command to download and install dependencies:
```
go mod tidy
```
2. **Add Torrent File in `main.go`:**
- Open the `main.go` file and include a valid `.torrent` file. For example, you can use a Debian ISO file.
3. **Run the Main Program:**
- Execute the following command to start the GoTorrent client:
```
go run main.go
```
These steps ensure that the necessary dependencies are fetched, a valid torrent file is added to the `main.go` file, and the main program is executed to run the GoTorrent client. Adjustments might be needed based on the specifics of your project structure and configuration.
# Torrent Client Project Features
## Overview
This project entails the creation of a command-line torrent client utilizing Go. The client enables seamless file downloads and uploads via the BitTorrent protocol, harnessing Go's built-in concurrency and networking capabilities for optimal performance.
## Key Components
### Efficient Download/Upload
- The client adeptly handles extensive file transfers, leveraging Go's concurrency features for simultaneous downloads and uploads.
### Parser Accuracy
- Torrent files are parsed with precision, extracting vital information such as tracker URL, file name, size, and pieces.
### Robust Tracker Communication
- Establishes reliable communication with the tracker, ensuring up-to-date information on available peers.
### Piece-Level Management
- Effective piece management guarantees a systematic download and upload process, ensuring file completeness.
### Concurrency for Scalability
- Utilizes Go's concurrency features to seamlessly handle multiple downloads and uploads concurrently.
### Error Resilience
- Robust error handling mechanisms ensure the client gracefully manages unexpected scenarios, maintaining stability.
### Fault Tolerance and Recovery
- The client exhibits resilience, recovering from errors and persisting bitfield information to ensure continuity in processes.
## Limitations
The torrent client has the following limitations:
1. **File Type Support:**
- Only supports `.torrent` files.
- Does not support magnet links.
2. **Tracker Protocol:**
- Only supports HTTP trackers.
- Does not support other tracker protocols.
3. **Torrent Structure:**
- Does not support multi-file torrents.
- Currently designed for single-file torrents.
These limitations outline the current scope of the torrent client and represent areas where future improvements or additional features could be considered.
In summary, the project delivers a functional and efficient torrent client, demonstrating prowess in efficient file transfers, accurate parsing, robust communication, and resilience in the face of errors.
