AetherNet.BitTorrent

A from-scratch, interoperable BitTorrent implementation for .NET — the real protocol, not a look-alike. It speaks bencode, .torrent/magnet parsing, the SHA-1 info-hash, the BEP-3 peer-wire with rarest-first piece selection, HTTP + UDP trackers (BEP-3/15/23), Mainline DHT + PEX + ut_metadata (BEP-5/11/9/10), µTP (BEP-29), and BitTorrent v2 SHA-256 merkle hashing (BEP-52). Verified against MonoTorrent: given the same file, both compute the identical info-hash, so any real torrent client interoperates with it.

dotnet add package AetherNet.BitTorrent

using AetherNet.BitTorrent.Metainfo;

// Build a .torrent from a single file, then read back its info-hash
byte[] torrent = TorrentBuilder.CreateSingleFile("release.iso", fileBytes, pieceLength: 262144);
TorrentMetainfo meta = TorrentMetainfo.Parse(torrent);
Console.WriteLine(meta.InfoHashV1Hex);   // 40-hex SHA-1 — identical to any real BitTorrent client

// Parse a magnet link
MagnetLink magnet = MagnetLink.Parse("magnet:?xt=urn:btih:...");
Console.WriteLine(magnet.InfoHashV1Hex);

Part of aether-protocol — an open-source, offline-first mesh networking protocol. See the BitTorrent section for how a node joins a real swarm and bridges content into the offline mesh; AetherNet.BitTorrent.Gateway provides that mesh bridge.

AetherNet.BitTorrent.Gateway

Gateway bridging external BitTorrent swarms into the AetherNet mesh: translates BitTorrent (SHA-1) pieces to AetherNet SHA-256 content chunks and back, so an internet-connected node can ingest a torrent and re-seed it to offline peers over the mesh chunk protocol.
