Torrent client written in Go currently being written according to the [original specifications](https://www.bittorrent.org/beps/bep_0003.html).

To use:

* Clone the repository with `https://github.com/matei-oltean/go-torrent.git` (or `go get github.com/matei-oltean/go-torrent`)

* Go to the cloned repository (`cd go-torrent`)

* Build it `go build`

* Launch it with `./go-torrent -f path_to_torrent_file`. You can also force the name of the output file by adding `-o path_to_output`; if not supplied, the file will be downloaded in the same folder as the torrent file with the name supplied by the torrent file.

Next steps:

* Clean up the code (package separation, add tests, etc.)

* Add support for magnet links

* Add support for seeding

* Add a GUI
