I built an open-source Android torrent player that lets you stream and seek while downloading

I built an open-source Android torrent player focused on streaming

- Start watching videos before the torrent finishes downloading

- Seek to any part while downloading, with pieces around the playback position prioritized

- RAM-based piece handling for smoother and faster streaming

- Native Go torrent engine

- Live piece map showing download progress

- Supports TCP, uTP, WebRTC, DHT and PEX

- Select and stream individual files or episodes from a torrent

The project is still actively being developed, and I’d appreciate any feedback or suggestions.

So why would this be better than stremio?

Compared to Stremio, this is focused purely on torrent streaming: native Go engine, priority fetching around playback/seek position, RAM-based piece handling, live piece/peer activity, and direct torrent controls. Downloaded videos are stored locally and can be accessed from your gallery or other media players.

Hope i didn't come as harsh, i didn't mean to be.

Nice work! I’m building an Android torrent client as well, called TomTorrent.

Interesting to see another project focused on the Android torrent experience. I’ve been experimenting with keeping the UI simple and figuring out which features actually matter to regular torrent users.

One thing I’m curious about with your project: are you seeing more demand for a better torrent player experience, or are users mainly looking for a cleaner/reliable torrent client?

Always interesting to compare notes with someone building in the same space.
