Distribyted is an alternative torrent client. It can expose torrent files as a standard FUSE mount or webDAV endpoint and download them on demand, allowing random reads using a fixed amount of disk space. Distribyted supports several ways to expose the files to the user or external applications. Applications that supports WebDAV can access torrent files using this protocol. It is recommended when distribyted is running in a remote machine or using docker. Distribyted can show some kind of files directly as folders, making it possible for applications to read only the parts that they need. Here is a list of supported, to-be-supported, and not supported formats. Play multimedia files on your favorite video or audio player. These files will be downloaded on demand and only the needed parts.
