Downloading torrents

[pierrbt]

Hello,
I started making a Tauri application, precisely a game launcher, and I wanted the rust side if the application to download the games, which are shared using torrents. Do you know any librairies or any way that could help me doing this. I've already looked around bit I've found no solutions that fitted my needs

PS : The clients are mainly on Windows.

Unfortunately, while there's several crates I found on lib.rs, they fall into a few unfortunate buckets:

• rust bittorrent apps that don't seem to document and expose a library interface:
  • torrust-tracker — Rust utility // Lib.rs
• crates that only work on linux currently according to their docs?:
  • aquatic_udp — Rust utility // Lib.rs (and it's sister crates)
  • Cratetorrent — Rust network library // Lib.rs
• super early or abandoned crates:
  • Rustorrent — Rust library // Lib.rs
  • Landslide — Rust network library // Lib.rs
  • rdest — command-line utility in Rust // Lib.rs
• crates that interact with the local API of an existing bittorrent client.

Pick your poison, I guess. I would suggest rdest — command-line utility in Rust // Lib.rs is the least suspect looking?
