# aquatic-crawler
![Build](https://github.com/YGGverse/aquatic-crawler/actions/workflows/build.yml/badge.svg)
[![Dependencies](https://deps.rs/repo/github/YGGverse/aquatic-crawler/status.svg)](https://deps.rs/repo/github/YGGverse/aquatic-crawler)
[![crates.io](https://img.shields.io/crates/v/aquatic-crawler.svg)](https://crates.io/crates/aquatic-crawler)
SSD-friendly FS crawler for the [Aquatic](https://github.com/greatest-ape/aquatic) BitTorrent tracker, based on the [librqbit](https://github.com/ikatson/rqbit/tree/main/crates/librqbit) API
> [!TIP]
> * requires PR#233 or the [info-hash-api](https://github.com/YGGverse/aquatic/tree/info-hash-api) branch implementation
> * compatible with any other `--infohash` source in `hash1hash2...` binary format (see the [Online API](https://github.com/YGGverse/aquatic-crawler/wiki/Online-API))
> * use [βtracker](https://github.com/YGGverse/btracker/) for the frontend
## Install
> [!NOTE]
> You may want to install some [system dependencies](https://github.com/YGGverse/aquatic-crawler/wiki/Dependencies)
1. `git clone https://github.com/YGGverse/aquatic-crawler.git && cd aquatic-crawler`
2. `cargo build --release`
3. `sudo install target/release/aquatic-crawler /usr/local/bin/aquatic-crawler`
## Usage
> [!TIP]
> * prepend `RUST_LOG=debug` to debug, append `NO_COLOR=1` to disable fmt
> * use `--preload-*` arguments group to avoid preloading everything (by default)
> * as the crawler is running in a single thread, use `--peer-read-write-timeout` (in seconds) to skip long-lasting connections. Content preload will be restored in the next crawl cycle after resolving other torrents from active peers in the queue.
