bittorrent-dht is a Node.js implementation of the BitTorrent Mainline Distributed Hash Table (DHT) protocol, enabling decentralized peer discovery for BitTorrent clients. This module allows users to announce and lookup peers for specific torrents without the need for trackers. It’s lightweight, fast, and well-suited for building custom torrent clients, browser-based peers, or decentralized apps. This project powers part of WebTorrent and is maintained with performance and minimalism in mind.
