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 commit -am "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.
