nostr:npub1v0lxxxxutpvrelsksy8cdhgfux9l6a42hsj2qzquu2zk7vc9qnkszrqj49 I was just thinking about this concept the other day, awesome work! The way I pictured it, you could crawl the DHT to find torrents using BitMagnet, and then use something like dtan.xyz as the front end to search the results and have a page for them.

This way, both the torrent discovery and front end are decentralized!

i gave this a shot, the DHT crawler is impressive. It was able to index like 700K torrents in just a few days (for reference the database for the now-defunct RARBG only has like 1.1 million torrents in the archive)

however a lot of the content on DHT is a bit....... explicit 🤭
