How to add a torrent, please?
Does it work in Spring browser? I opened it there. It opened. But the search is not helping. How to search a torrent? Just any keyword does it?
Awesome project. Wow.
Thanks @Kieran. ๐ค๐ซ
I predict this will be one of the most useful and popular nostr use cases: uncensorable torrent trackers and indexes.

Nice! In the nevent, might it be better for "author" to say "pubkey" like in regular events?

Torrent metadata is stored on Nostr, historically, when one of the main torrent sites get shut down, all the metadata is lost or fragmented, using nostr means that its extremely easy to replicate and serve the metadata.
question:
How can I tag with DTAN so that I have a structure like: audio > music > flac
I only have radio inputs where I can only select one category.
Do I have to tag the torrent itself somehow. It's all new to me too.
Yea just select one of the tags, some of them are tiered so you have more specific tags like FLAC under audio which gives you "audio>music>flac" in the tags or less specifically selecting Music will just give you "audio>music".
Pick the most specific category.
@Kieran I was just thinking about this concept the other day, awesome work! The way I pictured it, you could crawl the DHT to find torrents using BitMagnet, and then use something like dtan.xyz as the front end to search the results and have a page for them.
This way, both the torrent discovery and front end are decentralized!
@Kieran I think it would make sense to add ...
- an optional cover / title image to the torrent event. Thats would allow to build a more visual UI.
- the tracker announce urls from the torrent-file, so they can be added to the generated magnet link as well.
