Torrust is a community supported project that currently is sponsored by Nautilus Cyberneering.
"Tor-rust" is a play on the words "Bit-Tor-ent", and "Rust"
This summaries our focus on mixing the great BitTorrent Protocol with the excellent Rust Programming Language.
We strive to grow a fantastic, kind, and passionate community. New contributors are always welcome to join!

Our focus is on two parts of BitTorrent Infrastructure, the Tracker, and the Index:
Our BitTorrent Tracker is a conventional tracker written in rust. When hosted it can matchmaking and statistic keeping capabilities to the BitTorrent Network.
Our BitTorrent Index is a conventional torrent metadata index. When hosted it can provide the BitTorrent Community with a collaborative interface for building databases of torrent information, and monitoring of it's related torrent swarms.
We split the index into to parts: "The Index", and "The Index Graphical User Interface (GUI)":
The index is a set of software that provides a set of machine API's that allow the management and maintenance of community collections of torrents
Note: This software provides an interfaces for other programers. Not end-users.
This software connects to the index (and other services), to provide a nice web-interface for humans to use.
