Experimenting with bit magnet as a personal torrent indexer.
So far, I've used DHT to crawl over 150,000 torrents and have them all indexed locally, which is kind of cool. And it's not actually downloading the torrents themselves. It's just indexing their metadata.
According to bit magnet itself, it takes roughly 80 gigs to store over 150 million torrents.
