Comment on Ask HN: I've Built a DHT Torrent Sniffer and Search Engine. Should I Release?parent

Comments

If I may suggest, it would be helpful to have a section in the README about how to build/run the application. If I'm not familiar with Electron, the repository isn't very helpful, even though I might be interested in trying it out.

I managed to build and run it, filed an issue for a problem I ran into. Hope it's valid, thanks for making this app!

Hey, thanks! Let me know what you think of it after using. It was a fun project to work on.

Although I managed to run the application, it didn't catch any torrents. The announcements and traffic stats in the console showed 0 all the time. To be fair I ran it for 30 minutes max.

Do I need to add trackers in some config file or so?
