> The DHT crawler is not quite unique to bitmagnet; another open-source project, magnetico was first (as far as I know) to implement a usable DHT crawler, and was a crucial reference point for implementing this feature. Heh. That was one of my first projects when I was still learning to code back in 2012: https://github.com/laino/shiny-adventure https://github.com/laino/shiny-adventure The DHT crawler/worker lived seperately, and I eventually put it here to rescue it from a dying HDD: https://github.com/laino/DHT-Torrent-database-Worker https://github.com/laino/DHT-Torrent-database-Worker The code is abhorrent and you absolutely shouldn't use it, but it worked. At least the crawler did - the frontend was never completed. Since the first implementation of mainline DHT appeared in 2005 and crawling that network is really quite an obvious idea, I doubt we (a friend was working on it as well) were first either.

Nothing substantial, I chuckled when I saw the commit history on your linked projects. I do not mean to belittle you (or the purpose/goal of the projects), genuinely enjoyed the distraction and 'results' from it: Today was the first commit after 11 (9 oct 2012) and 5 years (24 nov 2018), respectively, on the projects. I think your repo might be part of some sort of oldest 'active'- or 'not ported to another repo'-repo For what I've found in ~10 min (google/gpt), excluding git projects existing before spring 2008 (couldn't get a quick consensus on feb vs april of that year), there's not a lot (I'll edit this part if sources are requested)

  I recently committed to an old repo of mine after a 9 year gap. It holds several one file python script experiments and toys that I lumped into one place to get them off my hdd and make them available from wherever. Recently remembered it existed and added another one. And while I was in there I also ran 2to3 on the ones that needed it and polished the results up.
