bittornado's Introduction

BitTornado

BitTornado is a fork of the original Python BitTorrent distribution, made by John Hoffman to add some experimental features, most (if not all) of which are now standard in other clients and trackers. The last official release was made in 2006, and thus many newer features are missing, but BitTornado is also an accessible Python library, and has several simple tools for editing torrent files.

After several years of intermittent modifications, cleanups, modernization, and porting to Python 3.4, I have begun assigning version numbers. I have done my best to ensure that tagged versions and python-labelled branches (see below) work at least as well as they did in version 0.3.18. Since 0.4.0, the library components have been substantially reorganized, so expect dependent applications to break on upgrade.

Notice of unmaintained status

I appreciate that people have made an effort to use and report bugs in this package, which I believe is the most approachable implementation of many aspects of the protocol and file format. However, the BitTorrent ecosystem has moved on, and I don't have time to keep up with it.

At the time of this writing, in November 2018, it's been over two years since I was able to do more than briefly respond to an issue or review a small PR. This notice is less a decision and more an acknowledgment that I cannot devote any effort to maintaining this repository.

There are various known issues that are unresolved and will remain so unless somebody takes up maintenance.

Thanks to all who contributed time and effort on this.

Branches/Tags

Further development will be done in Python 3, although patches to the other branches may be accepted.

v0.3.18: Original import
legacy: Library structure unchanged, some fixes/cleanups made
python2.6: Python 2.6 compatibility maintained (legacy)
v0.4.0: Major restructuring, breaking depending applications
python2.7: Python 2.7 compatibility maintained (library structure updated)
master: Python 3

Using BitTornado Applications

Download or seed a file

A single file can be downloaded with any of the following commands:

btdownloadheadless.py myfile.torrent
btdownloadcurses.py myfile.torrent

A directory of files can be downloaded with any of the following commands:

btlaunchmany.py mydir
btlaunchmanycurses.py mydir

Attempting to download an already downloaded file will seed it.

Tracker

First, you need a tracker. If you're on a dynamic IP or otherwise unreliable connection, you should find someone else's tracker and use that. Otherwise, follow the rest of this step.

Trackers refer downloaders to each other. The load on the tracker is very small, so you only need one for all your files.

To run a tracker, execute the command bttrack.py Here is an example -

bttrack.py --port 6969 --dfile dstate

--dfile is where persistent information is kept on the tracker across invocations. It makes everything start working again immediately if you restart the tracker. A new one will be created if it doesn't exist already.

The tracker must be on a net-addressible box, and you must know the ip number or dns name of it.

The tracker outputs web logs to standard out. You can get information about the files it's currently serving by getting its index page.

Creating torrent files

btmakemetafile.py http://my.tracker:6969/announce myfile.ext

This will generate a file called myfile.ext.torrent

Make sure to include the port number in the tracker url if it isn't 80.

This command may take a while to scan over the whole file hashing it.

The /announce path is special and hard-coded into the tracker. Make sure to give the domain or ip your tracker is on instead of my.tracker.

You can use either a dns name or an IP address in the tracker url.

Creating many torrent files

btcompletedir.py http://my.tracker:6969/announce mydir

This will generate a torrent file for each file in mydir.

Editing torrent files

To view metadata encoded in the torrent file:

btshowmetainfo.py myfile.torrent

To set the announce tracker of a torrent file:

btreannounce.py http://mytracker.com:6969/announce myfile.torrent

To copy the announce information from one file to another:

btcopyannounce.py source.torrent destination.torrent

To set the default download name:

btrename.py myfile.torrent targetFileName.ext

To set HTTP seeds:

btsethttpseeds http://example.net/myfile myfile.torrent

To remove HTTP seeds:

btsethttpseeds 0 myfile.torrent

AttributeError: 'NatCheck' object has no attribute 'bufferlen'

Got an error again, unrelated to the previous issue:

if self.bufferlen is not None:

As of now, the Tracker hasn't crashed yet, so I don't see a problem with it... Just thought I'd mention it.

Edit: Okay the tracker crashes now by spamming the error into console. (to reproduce this error (for me at least); Put a torrent in the torrents directory and 'Update Trackers' on ruTorrent (not sure if it is also the case with other clients))

I am using python2.7 branch. And has 2 leech get file from seeder. They can download succeed,but after a period of time(may be half hour ), I found one of leech give the ERROR hint.

allow anonymous connections via i2p

In case you don't want to have what you share associated with your IP, you should have the option to anonymize. Yes, this comes at the cost of lower speeds, but the user would decide if it is worth enabling it. Nowadays, libtorrent and vuze already have that option.

Downloader doesn't work out of the box?

I have a repo that creates some virtual machines for testing this project.

to reproduce environment

clone the repo, cd to test/test_cluster, and run make.

$ git clone https://gitlab.com/davidawad/tbd-murder/
$ cd tbd-murder/test/test_cluster
$ make

This will create some VM's, (the makefile is really simple) and inside of the seeder vm, I can't run the downloader.

Any ideas? Thanks

I keep getting this, I don't know why, I have 2 torrents in my folder but neither are seeding or being leeched, this just occurs randomly and crashes the tracker, any idea?

I'm using the following cmd btw: ./bttrack.py --port 65000 --dfile dstate --allow_get 1 --allowed_dir ./torrents/ --infopage_redirect "MY_SITE_HERE" --logfile ./logs/log.txt

Doesn't build ...

I've tried a myriad of combinations of Python 2.6, Python 2.7, Python 3.4 (With the python3 branch of course), various wxPython versions, py2exe and none of them can build a working BitTornado on Windows.

The basic problem:
Either I get missing _sysconfigdata, missing psyco (Which is dead and isn't available for anything but Python 2.6 and older), missing win32com.gen.py ...

Can you provide a list of components required to actually build BitTornado, incl. their respective versions?

Or maybe you could even provide a binary somewhere :)

if the leecher sudden disconnection.how to give hint or exit the download script?

I am using the branch on Python2.7

when I download the file from seeder , the network of leecher was unexpect lost .But I didin't now , and the btdownloadheaderless.py was running .
So I wander if it is possible to give hint (off the net ) or exit the .py

ImportError: cannot import name HTTPSConnection

I am using the master branch on Python3.5 and Python3.3，both show the Error infos.
when i run tracker , it shows as follows:

Hi again ^^ I have a new error for you, I'm assuming it's caused by a '!' in the filename, I'm currently trying to test this. (basically moving the file out of the parse directory and check if the error still appears)

EDIT:
I removed the ' ! ' from the filename and the error seems to have disappeared, I'll edit or reply again when I see the same error again.

EDIT2:
Nope that was not the issue, I don't know what else it could be.

Create torrents from a list of files

Currently BTTree can be built to hold either a single file, or a full directory with all files and subdirectories. I would like to create torrent files from a specific list of files I have built through other means, and I am wondering which of the following options you may find the more acceptable:

adapt BTTree.__init__() so that loc can be a list of paths, and use something like if isinstance(loc, list):… to call specific code
do not touch BTTree and create a new function alongside make_meta_file that builds the specific BTTree hierarchy manually
you think it’s the user’s job to subclass BTTree and reimplement make_meta_file to suit their needs, and prefer that this feature remains outside of BitTornado
something else entirely

Note that I will be adding this feature and using it in production for several years whatever happens, so it’s up to you to decide whether you want it available for others :)

but:
if i use another btclient as the seeder server or client, they can share data with btdownloadheadless.py. i have tested the original python-bittorrent and deluge.

thanks,effigies, do you have the same problem on you computer?

Please implement --allow-insecure-filename

There is an ongoing problem with some official torrent providers, where they inlcude paths (slash) in the filename. For years. Despite the huge amounts of negative feedback from users.

Right now the only way to download those is to patch bt regex in Meta/Info.py to allow paths, but it's really ugly.
There is --security 0 but it seems not to be checked for this particular check. Too bad.
I briefly checked the code but I don't see the options available in Info.py, so instead of a pull request I request this: please implement a switch to be able to download filenames with slashes or possibly other junk, under the risk of the user. It is not much worse than having security=0. :-)
