This is a starting point for Rust solutions to the "Build Your Own BitTorrent" Challenge.

In this challenge, you’ll build a BitTorrent client that's capable of parsing a .torrent file and downloading a file from a peer. Along the way, we’ll learn about how torrent files are structured, HTTP trackers, BitTorrent’s Peer Protocol, pipelining and more.

Note: If you're viewing this repo on GitHub, head over to codecrafters.io to try the challenge.

Passing the first stage

The entry point for your BitTorrent implementation is in src/main.rs. Study and uncomment the relevant code, and push your changes to pass the first stage:

git add .
git commit -m "pass 1st stage" # any msg
git push origin master

Time to move on to the next stage!

Stage 2 & beyond

Note: This section is for stages 2 and beyond.

  1. Ensure you have cargo (1.70) installed locally
  2. Run ./your_bittorrent.sh to run your program, which is implemented in src/main.rs. This command compiles your Rust project, so it might be slow the first time you run it. Subsequent runs will be fast.
  3. Commit your changes and run git push origin master to submit your solution to CodeCrafters. Test output will be streamed to your terminal.
