Torrent Webseed Creator on Colab

Webseeded Torrent Creator using Google Colaboratory.

Inspired by BurnBit † and URLHash.

Powered by torrenttools to create a torrent file.

An alternative to BurnBit and URLHash.

Convert direct HTTP link to .torrent

Your file is then burned into a torrent.

Torrents created are trackerless, relying on Distributed Hash Table and Peer EXchange, to help reduce the burden of torrent trackers.

For people that have unstable internet.
Can be paused because it is a torrent.
Utilizes the power of peer to peer downloads and the client-server downloads.
Combines the best of both worlds (P2P and Direct HTTP Link).

Waiting for py3createtorrent to implement BitTorrent v2 protocol or switch to another torrent creation program that has support for BitTorrent v2 protocol.
