webtorrentify-server
A microservice for generating .torrent files from URLs
What is this?
This is the software running on https://webtorrentify.now.sh, a free service to auto-generate .torrent files from "normal" URLs of the http:// and https:// variety. The torrent files generated are specifically designed to be compatible with WebTorrent in the browser, but they should work with any Bittorrent client.
I 💖 WebTorrent but how do I make a .torrent?
It's easy now! webtorrentify.now.sh has a single API endpoint with a single
query parameter, href
, the URL of the file you want to convert to a torrent.
wget https://webtorrentify.now.sh/?href=https://nodejs.org/dist/v6.10.2/node-v6.10.2-linux-x64.tar.gz
And now you have node-v6.10.2-linux-x64.tar.gz.torrent
.
That is nice, but I want to run my own server
Sure you do!
git clone https://github.com/wmhilton/webtorrentify-server
cd webtorrentify-server
npm install
npm start
