goTorrent

goTorrent is a torrenting server built with Go (Golang) with websocket API that comes with a React web frontend.

The current release is an alpha release which means there may be bugs, please open issues to help me improve this software!

Supported Platforms:

• Windows
• Linux
• MacOS - (untested as I do not have a Mac)

Supported Arch:

• x64

Features:

• Responsive React based WebUI
• Download torrents from File upload or Magnet Link
• Start/Stop/Delete Multiple Torrents
• Add RSS feeds and automatically download new torrents from feed
• Detailed information for each torrent
• Automatic stop after seeding ratio reached
• Pushbullet notification on torrent complete
• Automatic move of completed torrent to new directory (leave symlink behind for seeding)
  • Symlinks don't work on Windows yet, have to copy file for now

Roadmap

• Early-Mid 2018

• Ability to modify storage path of torrent after it has been added

• Backend to frontend notification messages

• Global Rate Limiting for Upload/Download Speed

• Add torrents from watch folder (cron job every 5 minutes)

• Authentication from client to server (done via JWT, will add functionality for 3rd party clients later)

• Reverse Proxy Support with SSL upgrade added (with provided config for nginx)

• Mostly generated client config from toml.config on first run

• Ability to view TOML settings from WebUI (and perhaps change a few as well)

• Ability to set priority for individual files (needs more testing!)

• Unit testing completed for a large portion of the package

• Stability/bug fixing/Optimization rewrite of some of the core structures of the WebUI and base server

• Put the "Move torrent after download" into own goroutine with checks so the WebUI doesn't freeze when moving torrent

• Late 2018

• Define the websocket API for users to write their own clients/extensions

• React-native Android app (I don't own any Mac products so there will be no iPhone version)
