BitTorrent P2P multi-platform search engine for Desktop and Web servers with integrated torrent client. - DEgITx/rats-search

Just a heads up: on my testing, the app seems to crash on Mac. Works fine on Linux though!

      Tried it out a few years back, it sort of works okay for those looking for something like this. Its interesting feature is the ability to search among other clients running the same software so it’s a sort of distributed search. To do that I think it has to advertise the torrents you’ve downloaded/loaded in the client so other people can find yours in the search.

      The UI is a bit difficult to understand, takes a while to figure it out how to actually use it IMO. Probably a good idea to read the usage manual on their github page.

        From reading the docs I get the impression that the client is discovering torrents from the DHT, and that’s also the data you can search from other clients. That means it wouldn’t be revealing anything about which torrents you’ve downloaded or are sharing.
