@Stephen304 I've noticed the demonoid hourly update is also causing this, maybe it's something to do with it being gzipped? Maybe there's a library update or something that fixes this issue?
I can try recompiling after reinstalling the go packages, but I won't be able to do that until probably tomorrow. Maybe I'll have time to start maintaining this again since it's getting traffic for some reason.
@Stephen304 this article was shared on HackerNews or Reddit, can't remember which one though.
Ah, back in january it was on both because my friend decided to post it. It's nice to get more traffic and people to give feedback on this.

Also since we added support for it to SickRage there's now another 10k+ potential users. If this wasn't mainly in go I'd help, is there any chance you'd rewrite the go parts in node or are they in go for a reason?
I could maybe get behind a node rewrite. I did it in go for mainly hipster reasons, it's new, has nice package management (node probably wins though), compiles naively to machine code, has nice scoping that I enjoy working with, has a nifty type system that I think makes coding easier. Node is also very good though and most of the heavy lifting is done in mongo so a node rewrite is an option.

Well if you could help even with getting most of it into node I would definitely be up to helping fix issues that come along and adding enhancements that people suggest.
I might have some time to work on it this weekend. I'll probably make a node-bitcannon repo or something. One concern with a node version is that people will probably have to install node to run it. With Go I just ran gox and I got a binary for every platform that people can download. Idk if node has a thing for packaging node programs into a bundle executable + node environment. On the plus side, I'm pretty sure there's node gui things that run a web page in the window of the node app. Something like electron. So that would be good for usability.

Like you said there are projects like electron that help with packaging it up, there's also nexe and a few others. There's also the option of just providing the source and forgetting about the binary, then people just install node and do something like this. That'll install nvm and then download and setup node v4.0.0, then clone the repo, install the npm dependencies and start the project with forever using the uid of bitcannon. To stop it they'd just run forever stop bitcannon
.
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.29.0/install.sh | bash
nvm install v4.0.0
git clone https://github.com/Stephen304/bitcannon && cd bitcannon && npm install && npm install -g forever && forever --uid bitcannon start app.js
@OmgImAlexis I've started a new issue for the rewrite discussion on #89
@stephen304 Hi! Is the project still alive? I'm trying to use it but a couple of bugs (including this one) makes it impossible.
Thanks!
Not really, I haven't had much time to put into this project and I don't have the kind of unmetered internet connection I used to have which made testing this easier.
Try making sure the data is clean and in the right format before importing.

I have over 5 million torrents imported so far, and I wish to import another 20 million. I'm on a mission to import a full database of.. almost all torrents. Call me crazy! But I have got it working just fine. In fact, it's fast! But the browse page has broken for some reason. Any ideas?
