qBittorrent RuTracker plugin
qBittorrent search engine plugin for rutracker
qBittorrent RuTracker plugin is a lightweight search engine extension designed to integrate the RuTracker torrent index directly into the qBittorrent client, allowing users to search for torrents without leaving the application interface. The plugin follows qBittorrent’s official search plugin architecture and is implemented as a Python script that communicates with the RuTracker website to retrieve and display search results. By embedding this functionality into the client, it streamlines the torrent discovery process and reduces the need for manual browsing across external websites. The plugin requires users to authenticate with RuTracker credentials, enabling access to content that may otherwise be restricted or hidden behind login requirements. It is designed to be simple to install and configure, typically involving placing the script in the appropriate directory and editing credentials. -

transfer.sh
Easy and fast file sharing from the command-line
Easy and fast file sharing from the command-line. This code contains the server with everything you need to create your own instance. Transfer.sh currently supports the s3 (Amazon S3), gdrive (Google Drive), storj (Storj) providers, and local file system (local). For easy deployment, we've created a Docker container. For the usage with a AWS S3 Bucket, you just need to specify the following options, provider, aws-access-key, aws-secret-key, bucket, and s3-region. If you specify the s3-region, you don't need to set the endpoint URL since the correct endpoint will used automatically. To use a custom non-AWS S3 provider, you need to specify the endpoint as defined from your cloud provider. In preparation you need to create an access grant (or copy it from the uplink configuration) and a bucket. To get started, login to your account and go to the Access Grant Menu and start the Wizard on the upper right. -

IPFS Desktop
An unobtrusive and user-friendly desktop application for IPFS
IPFS Desktop bundles an IPFS node, file manager, peer manager, and content explorer into a single, easy-to-use application. Use IPFS Desktop to get acquainted with IPFS without needing to touch the terminal — or, if you're already experienced, use the powerful menubar/taskbar shortcuts alongside the command line to make your IPFS workflow faster. If you already have an IPFS node on your computer, IPFS Desktop will act as a control panel and file browser for that node. If you don't have a node, it'll install one for you. And either way, IPFS Desktop will automatically check for updates. IPFS Desktop enables you to stop or restart your node straight from the IPFS logo menu in your OS menubar/system tray. For Mac and Windows users, IPFS Desktop can also be set to launch at system startup, ensuring that your node is running whenever your computer is on. -

IPFS Kubo
An IPFS implementation in Go
Kubo was the first IPFS implementation and is the most widely used one today. Implementing the Interplanetary Filesystem - the Web3 standard for content-addressing, interoperable with HTTP. Thus powered by IPLD's data models and the libp2p for network communication. Kubo is written in Go. IPFS is a global, versioned, peer-to-peer filesystem. It combines good ideas from previous systems such as Git, BitTorrent, Kademlia, SFS, and the Web. It is like a single BitTorrent swarm, exchanging git objects. IPFS provides an interface as simple as the HTTP web, but with permanence built-in. You can also mount the world at /ipfs. -

NitroShare is built to take advantage of fast networks, easily achieving gigabit speeds on capable hardware. NitroShare runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Files can easily be transferred between machines running different operating systems. NitroShare is written in modern C++ and makes use of the excellent Qt Framework. All of the source code for the application is released under the MIT license. -

peerflix
Streaming torrent client for node.js
peerflix is a Node.js-based streaming torrent client that lets you stream video or audio files directly from a torrent (magnet link or .torrent file), without needing to wait for the entire download to finish. It spins up a small HTTP server that serves the torrent’s content as it’s downloaded; for example, if you point a media player (like VLC or MPV) to the provided URL, it will start playing almost immediately. Peerflix automatically selects the largest file in a multi-file torrent by default (or can list all files for manual selection), and supports passing arbitrary flags to the media player — letting you stream with subtitles, full-screen mode, or other player-specific options. Because it's built on the torrent peer network, it downloads pieces on demand as playback proceeds, which can be more efficient if you only want to watch a single file. Peerflix also exposes programmatic API usage using underlying low-level torrent-streaming logic. -

WiFiManager
WiFi Connection manager with web captive portal
Espressif ESPx WiFi Connection manager with fallback web configuration portal. The configuration portal is of the captive variety, so on various devices it will present the configuration dialogue as soon as you connect to the created access point. When your ESP starts up, it sets it up in Station mode and tries to connect to a previously saved Access Point. If this is unsuccessful (or no previous network saved) it moves the ESP into Access Point mode and spins up a DNS and WebServer (default ip 192.168.4.1). Using any wifi enabled device with a browser (computer, phone, tablet) connect to the newly created Access Point. Because of the Captive Portal and the DNS server you will either get a 'Join to network' type of popup or get any domain you try to access redirected to the configuration portal. ESP will try to connect. If successful, it relinquishes control back to your app. If not, reconnect to AP and reconfigure. -

WebTorrent
Streaming torrent client for the web
WebTorrent is a streaming torrent client for node.js and the browser. YEP, THAT'S RIGHT. THE BROWSER. It's written completely in JavaScript – the language of the web – so the same code works in both runtimes. In node.js, this module is a simple torrent client, using TCP and UDP to talk to other torrent clients. In the browser, WebTorrent uses WebRTC (data channels) for peer-to-peer transport. It can be used without browser plugins, extensions, or installations. It's Just JavaScript™. Note: WebTorrent does not support UDP/TCP peers in browser. To make BitTorrent work over WebRTC (which is the only P2P transport that works on the web) we made some protocol changes. Therefore, a browser-based WebTorrent client or "web peer" can only connect to other clients that support WebTorrent/WebRTC. -

Cy
Hackers terminal browser of Cyber blockchains
Cy - a nushell wrapper, a client for the Cyber family blockchains (bostrom, pussy) and IPFS. Bostrom is the name of the consensus computer that maintains a general-purpose, permissionless informational graph where nodes are CIDs of files in the IPFS network, and edges are Cyberlinks (consisting of source, destination, author, height - records) written into the blockchain. The information written into the blockchain is secured to remain in existence as long as the blockchain is operative. The blockchain is designed with economic incentives that motivate validators to sustain the network. For further information about Cyber blockchains, please refer to Bostrom Journal. -

Diffuse
A music player that connects to your cloud/distributed storage
A music player that connects to your cloud/distributed storage, in the form of a static, serverless, web application. Diffuse is a static web application, which means it's just HTML, CSS, and Javascript. No REST API, database, or anything backend-related is involved. The app uses a hash (aka. fragment-based) routing system, so you don't need any special server rules for routing. You can download a pre-build web-only version of Diffuse on the releases page. Diffuse uses service workers, so you may need HTTPS for it to work smoothly in certain browsers. I should also note that some source services use OAuth, so you'll need to use your own application credentials (eg. Google Drive client ID + secret). -
