torrent-mount's Introduction

torrent-mount

Mount a torrent (or magnet link) as a filesystem in real time using torrent-stream and fuse.

AKA MAD SCIENCE!

npm install -g torrent-mount

You also need to install fuse. See this link for more info.

Usage

Open a terminal and cd to a directory where you want to mount your torrent

torrent-mount magnet:?xt=urn:btih:ef330b39f4801d25b4245212e75a38634bfc856e

Usage: torrent-mount <source>... [options]

source     .torrent file or magnet link to open

Options:
	-m PATH, --mount PATH   Mount location path [directory]  [.]
	-l, --lazy              Download only if accessed

After doing that open the same directory using a file browser. The files of the torrent should be mounted there now and you should be able to double-click them to start streaming as regular files!

Troubleshoot

Download the latest osxfuse dmg using this link and install it

http://sourceforge.net/projects/osxfuse/files/latest/download?source=files

The one provided by brew doesn't always seem to work. You also need pkg-config:

brew install pkg-config

torrent-mount's Issues

Question: Is it possible to unmount the torrent?

If I already had a file, there is a way to unmount him?

Thanks in advance.

Installation failure

Here's the log:

https://gist.github.com/brian-gates/252142d51170c323d4c5

Any thoughts?

torrent-live

Just released here: https://github.com/Ayms/torrent-live

The main intent was the freerider behavior, see mafintosh/torrent-stream#17

But then opening with the browser the file being downloaded just works to stream it inside the browser (and therefore it can be streamed to the TV real-time)

So, am I missing something or does torrent-mount do more?

where do the downloaded files go?

I downloaded it in a directory.
After downloading it hung there.
Doing ctrl-c gave the mesage "shutting down..." and the process exited. there were no files on disk.

stating the files blocks

Hey there,

when I torrent-mount a torrent file or a magnet link into my fs, any stat(2) on the mounted files blocks indefinitely meaning I can't do even a ls -l without my term freezing.

$ uname -sr

Cannot mount single-file torrents

torrent-mount seems to work fine with torrents that are directories, but not with torrents that are single files. For example,

$ torrent-mount ubuntu-14.04-desktop-i386.iso.torrent
Mounted 1 files, 970 MB in ubuntu-14.04-desktop-i386.iso
Connected to 10/14 peers
Downloaded 1.8 MB (329.6 kB/s) with 0 hotswaps
Uploaded 0 Bytes (0 b/s)

$ ls ubuntu-14.04-desktop-i386.iso
ls: cannot access ubuntu-14.04-desktop-i386.iso: Input/output error

Can't stop with ctrl+c

As per my previous ticket, I'm unable up stop with break command, ctrl+c. I'm on latest Mac OS.

Add many torrents?

Can i add many torrents? and mount it in one/different folders ?

Cannot get example magnet link to mount

I installed OSXFuse and installed the torrent-mount package correctly with no issues, but cannot for the life of me get the package to work :( any help would be appreciated!

Super require

Can't stop wodering about mounting the whole npm ecosistem in node_modules!
Mad mad science ;)

Move to fuse-bindings?

I have tried torrent-mount a few times but could not get working because of fuse4js. Now with all the work you have done for fuse-bindings just wondering when you might switch to using that module?

RFC: Macfusion Integration

While I don't have the time to devote to making it a reality, I use FUSE / MacFUSION a ton, and it seems like this could be awesome. (And drive interest in fixing some rather irksome UI quirks.)

No files are mounted

When I initiate a download of the example file I see this:

Initializing swarm and verifying data...
Mounted 2 files, 541.3MB in star-wreck-in-the-pirkinning
Connected to 12/13 peers
Downloaded 14.9 MB (82.1 kB/s) with 0 hotswaps

However the mounted directoy is empty both during and after complete download:

$ ll star-wreck-in-the-pirkinning/

Cannot mount anything on Windows

Hi!

After a lot of pain installing Dokan and this package (thanks to node-gyp and Visual Studio) i've managed to get it installed.

But i'm having problems trying to mount any torrent.

I've tried with the official ubuntu torrent:
torrent-mount http://releases.ubuntu.com/17.04/ubuntu-17.04-desktop-amd64.iso.torrent?_ga=2.201313838.1444046672.1496681511-1926335291.1496681511

But it always stop on:
Initializing swarm and verifying data...

What i need to do?

Doesn't seem to grab any magnet link…

Hey there,

Whatever magnet link I use (the one in your README, or magnets from http://wikileaks.org/magnet.txt for instance), I don't get anything.

Running DEBUG=* torrent-mount magnet:… commands always ends up spewing no replies:

  bittorrent-dht No DHT nodes replied, retry with bootstrap nodes +0ms
  bittorrent-dht No DHT nodes replied, retry with bootstrap nodes +5s
  bittorrent-dht No DHT nodes replied, retry with bootstrap nodes +5s
  bittorrent-dht No DHT nodes replied, retry with bootstrap nodes +5s
…

I'm on OSX Mavericks running the latest OSXFUSE (downloaded from your README, version 2.6.4). My Homebrew states pkg-config is up-to-date as well (0.28).

Any idea?

Thanks!

Making torrent-mount private tracker friendly using the opts argument of torrentStream

Using the opts argument of torrent-stream could make much more options available and would be really handy for using with private trackers:

Disabling DHT (many private trackers don't like DHT).
Setting up a different peer ID (It's possible with opts.id, however it's not documented)

Both could help the usage on private trackers.

Use case:

One would think that using a streaming torrent engine on a private tracker is not so smart anyway. However using with the --lazy option one could peek into files' metadata without consuming too much bandwidth. For example one could run mkvinfo or ffmpeg -i on some files and get the correct specs of these files and it would download only the necessary chunks.

It already works for public trackers and it's really useful.
