✅ Experimental torrent streaming
This is an experimental feature!!
Using another library of mine, torrentstream I added experimental streaming support. That requires libtorrent.
Deluge guys have a good tutorial on how to get libtorrent going on multiple systems`
Support on windows / MacOs is probably not working on this feature. Please, if you've tested it on windows / MacOs contact me so we can work on that support.
⭐ Installation
This is a python3.5 package available on pypi.
On windows and mac you can download python3.5 here.
On linux distros, python3.5 is already on most package managers
With python3.5 installed just execute:
pip3.5 install katcr
If it asks about permissions and you don't know what to do, you should probably read Jamie Matthews's article about virtualenvs

🌟 Notes
This project is made with the best of intentions. For that times you need to search for somethink shared as a torrent on KAT (I.E, linux images). Logo is based on robot cat by Arsenty
