RIVR
RIVR is the world's first open source torrent search engine. It scrapes torrent websites (Kickass, ThePirateBay, isoHunt, Limetorrents, 1337x), and gives fast results with a ranking based on torrent hash, seeders and leechers. For each torrent it provides a magnet link and when available a torrent file displaying its contents. RIVR is a personal project I decided to make open source with the hope of finding people to build a distributed torrent search engine with high quality results.
