magnetico is the first autonomous (self-hosted) BitTorrent DHT search engine suite that is *designed for end-users*.
The suite consists of two packages:
***magneticod:** Autonomous BitTorrent DHT crawler and metadata fetcher.
***magneticow:** Lightweight web interface for magnetico.
Both programs, combined together, allows anyone with a decent Internet connection to access the vast amount of torrents
waiting to be discovered within the BitTorrent DHT space, *without relying on any central entity*.
**magnetico** liberates BitTorrent from the yoke of centralised trackers & web-sites and makes it *truly
decentralised*. Finally!
