Thinking this through a bit more I'm seeing two possibilities.
1. Full torrent client + discovery. Will index and use nostr events to discover torrents. Will use nostr evens as a tracker to find and connect to new peers. Will handle downloading/uploading etc.
2. Nostr bridge, will act as a tracker following the existing protocol. But will get the information from nostr events. Existing clients will be able to connect to it as a normal tracker. Would still need a UI for discovery. (simpler)
Is anyone working on a torrent client where nostr relays are the trackers?
