About bitmagnet
Bitmagnet is a self-hosted BitTorrent metadata indexer that crawls the DHT network and lets you search torrents locally. It runs as a single binary with an embedded web UI, chaining together a DHT crawler, a torrent metadata fetcher, a classifier, and a database-backed search engine. You point it at your network, it discovers infohashes, fetches metadata, and stores everything in SQLite or PostgreSQL.
It supports BitTorrent v1 and v2 hybrid torrents, handles large swarms via a built-in gossip-based crawler, and exposes a REST API alongside the web frontend. The project is written in Go, uses an immutable graph-based classifier for content categorization, and can import existing torrent files or magnet links. It integrates with torrent clients via standard magnet output and runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows via Docker or direct binary.
Bitmagnet is free and open source under the MIT license. It's aimed at privacy-conscious users who want to maintain their own torrent search index without relying on third-party sites. The project started in 2023 and is actively developed on GitHub.
