Cloud Torrent
Cloud-torrent is a self-hosted BitTorrent client and remote torrent manager written in Go. It functions as a torrent server that allows users to search for, start, and monitor downloads on a remote machine through a web interface.
The system acts as an HTTP torrent file streamer, enabling the streaming of downloaded content directly through a web browser for immediate playback without requiring full local downloads. It includes an integrated search interface to discover torrents and initiate downloads without leaving the server environment.
The server provides secure remote access through authentication and encryption. It also supports configuration as a background service for automatic startup and recovery.
