I wish there was a command line program like this, but one that would make a torrent of that file [1] and return a magnet link for the torrent.

The next weak point is the centralization around the tracker. You can solve this by sharing all the tracker information on Nostr [2], maybe?

1. https://instant.io 2. https://nostr.info



https://github.com/anacrolix/torrent/blob/master/cmd/torrent... does exactly that. Install with `go get github.com/anacrolix/torrent/cmd/torrent@latest`, and then run `torrent serve <torrent paths>`.


I just use ipfs

ipfs add file_name

share the hash with whoever

and they run

ipfs get hash


Does DHT solve this? I haven’t had issues sharing a torrent once the DHT info caught up.
