hTorrent – A HTTP to BitTorrent gateway with seeking written in Go

In plain words

hTorrent is a gateway written in Go that converts BitTorrent downloads into HTTP requests. It enables users to stream media files directly through standard media players like MPV by supporting seeking, eliminating the need to download complete files before playback. The tool is designed for anyone wanting to access torrent content via a simple HTTP interface rather than traditional torrent clients.

  I wrote a new BitTorrent tracker in Elixir2025 · github.com · ▲394

  Hello everyone! I'm currently in a journey to learn and improve my Elixir and Go skills (my daily job uses C++) and looking through my backlog for projects to take on I decided Elixir is the perfect language to write a highly-parallel BitTorrent tracker. So I have spent my free time these last 3 months writing one! Now I think it has enough features to present it to the world (and a docker image to give it a quick try). I know some people see trackers as relics of the past now that DHT and PEX are common but I think they still serve a purpose in today's Internet (purely talking about public…

  A friend and I spent 6 years making a simulation game, finally released▲1,157

  I've seen some interests in (simulation) video games here on HN so I thought I'd share a short version of our story. More than 6 years ago, me and my friend from university were playing around with an idea of making a game we always wanted to play. We worked on it on weekends but the progress was quite slow, especially due to so many dead ends and wasted effort. Eventually however, we solidified our direction and decided to take the risk to resign from our well paid SWE jobs and work on it full time. It took more than a year but yesterday we have finally released it on Steam:…
