find_infohash_and_wait

Documentation

Overview

Runs a node on UDP port 11221 that attempts to collect 100 peers for an infohash, then keeps running as a passive DHT node.

IMPORTANT: if the UDP port is not reachable from the public internet, you may see very few results.

To collect 100 peers, it usually has to contact some 10k nodes. This process is not instant and should take a minute or two, depending on your network connection.

There is a builtin web server that can be used to collect debugging stats from http://localhost:8711/debug/vars.
