I cant find a specification for the client side of the BitTorrent protocol, please help. If someone knows a good BitTorrent client with a python API then let me know. I'm trying to build a python package for downloading PDFs from annas archives.

the spec is easy to find. if you want an api, look at rtorrent. i remember it being packaged as a library.

unironically just ask ai to point you at protocol specs, it will nudge you to the relevant ones and even notify you about undocumented shit.
For example, while I was testing my DNS resolver I didnt understand why single packet multiple domain resolution request wasn't working, turns out all online DNS servers either discard entire packet or anything after 1st domain to prevent DOS attempts

also there's a python wrapper for transmission API, if making a BitTorrent client is not your goal
