Bitmagnet -https://bitmagnet.io/ - does exactly that. I left it running for a few weeks and then stopped the crawler. Didn't expect much, but still somewhat disappointed by the garbage it reeled in.

I've had one running for over a year now, it's replaced my usage of regular torrent sites completely, there is a lot of junk, and it gets stale, but it's still a better experience than most of the public trackers out there IMO

I disabled mine because it was constantly writing to my SSD.

I solved it by storing the data on /dev/null

Are you running it at home?

I built one with a nice TUI to run on a VPS so I can try and find rare magazine torrents, but Hetzner were upset about it. I need to find it a new home. It was a very good citizen, but it still raised too many flags.

Runs fine at home. I've indexed 20M+ torrents in last few months running it during the day. With Prowlarr (or similar) it could easily replace other indexers.

2010. I remember those times. I was doing these things for science in 2008. Performance-wise, PEX was much faster than DHT. At least, in my setting.

This year, I was giving it as an assignment to students. Does not take much time with LLMs.
