This is a proof of concept tool to use iroh global content discovery using the bittorrent mainline DHT.
It is basically sendme but with an additional step of publishing to a tracker.
WARNING
While dumbpipe and sendme are reasonably well tested and can be used in production, this one is currently very experimental...
cargo install swarmie
swarmie publish <file or directory>
This will create a temporary iroh node that serves the content in the given file or directory. It will publish information about the data to one or more trackers.
The provider will run until it is terminated using Control-C. On termination it will delete the temporary directory.
This currently will create a temporary directory in the current directory. In the future this won't be needed anymore.
swarmie subscribe <hash>
When given trackers as arguments, this will connect to all trackers and ask them if they know who has the content. If no tracker arguments are provided, it will query the bittorrent mainline DHT for trackers.
This will download the data and create a file or directory named like the source in the current directory.
It will create a temporary directory in the current directory, download the data (single file or directory), and only then move these files to the target directory.
On completion it will delete the temp directory.
All temp directories start with .swarmie-.
