#2719: Support reading DHT nodes from metainfo files (BEP-0005)
-----------------------------+--------------------
Reporter: Copied | Owner:
Type: feature-request | Status: new
Priority: minor | Milestone: Future
Component: other/unknown | Version: 1.3.11
Keywords: dht, metainfo |
-----------------------------+--------------------
Please add support for bootstrapping DHT nodes from .torrent files. A
.torrent can contain a 'nodes' key with a list of lists with hosts and
ports to UDP nodes who know of clients interested in the file.
This should help with speeding up decentralized torrents who are entirely
trackerless.
Secondary, Deluge should support creating torrents with nodes lists as
alternatives or supplementary to announce-lists.
From the relevant [http://www.bittorrent.org/beps/bep_0005.html
specification BEP-0005]:
“A trackerless torrent dictionary does not have an "announce" key.
Instead, a trackerless torrent has a "nodes" key. This key should be set
to the K closest nodes in the torrent generating client's routing table.
Alternatively, the key could be set to a known good node such as one
operated by the person generating the torrent. Please do not automatically
add "router.bittorrent.com" to torrent files or automatically add this
node to clients routing tables.”
{{{
nodes = [[<host>, <int-port>], ["<host>", <int-port>], ...]
nodes = [["127.0.0.1", 6881], ["example.com", 4804], ["::1", 51413]]
}}}
I’m not aware of anyone distributing metainfo files with nodes. As the
legal war on trackers continues, this feature is something that should be
ready to use. As an independent content producer, I also find it appealing
to use DHT to distribute my own content. However, I would want to provide
one good known node to ensure availability and fast first-piece-downloaded
speeds.
