SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Gardener helps users find torrents by verifying swarm health rather than relying on unreliable site-reported seeder counts, ensuring the top results are actually downloadable.

Core Features & Use Cases

Keyword-driven searches across BT indexes to discover candidate torrents.
Verification-driven ranking using live DHT peers, tracker scrapes, and metadata checks.
Flexible output options (table or JSON) for interactive use or programmatic pipelines.

Quick Start

Run gardener <query> to search for a torrent and inspect the top verified result.

FAQPage Schema

How do I verify torrent seeder counts and DHT swarm health before downloading?▼

DHT lookup and tracker scrape verification confirm live peers to ensure torrents are actually downloadable. This process overrides unreliable site-reported seeder counts by applying per-torrent verification budgets for metadata checks.

What is the best way to search for torrents and rank results by actual download availability?▼

Searching BT indexes by keyword and ranking results via a health-driven score verifies actual peer availability. This approach exposes results with verifiable seeds and DHT peers, suitable for both human review and automated pipelines.

How can I automate torrent search and output verified results as JSON for programmatic pipelines?▼

Flexible output options like JSON format enable automated torrent search results to feed directly into programmatic pipelines. Exposing verifiable seeds and DHT peers allows scripts to process health-verified torrent data automatically.

Why do torrent site-reported seeder counts show files as available when they are actually dead?▼

Unreliable site-reported seeder counts often display stale data without performing live DHT peer verification or tracker scrapes. Verifying swarm health actively prevents downloading dead torrents by enforcing metadata checks.

Can I limit the bandwidth or time spent on DHT and tracker verification for torrent searches?▼

Enforcing per-torrent budgets for DHT, tracker, and metadata verification limits resource consumption during swarm health checks. This prevents excessive bandwidth or time spent verifying individual torrent availability.
