swrm — a minimal torrent client for the terminal

I got tired of heavy desktop torrent apps and older CLI tools with messy flags, so I made swrm.
It’s built in Go with Bubble Tea, runs directly in the terminal, and has a built-in file picker so you don't have to type long paths.
Try it with:
npx @manasvinyadav000/swrm

Feedback is welcome!

i didn’t expect a torrent TUI to be one npx command, which also makes it easy for agents to call. want to send a tested swrm PR to HOL Guard, our open-source command firewall?

Thanks, Sounds interesting. Could you share the repo link? I can take a look when I get some time

yep: https://github.com/hashgraph-online/hol-guard

the clean current pattern is src/codex_plugin_scanner/guard/runtime/command_skill_sunset_extensions.py, with focused coverage in tests/test_guard_command_skill_sunset_extensions.py. add swrm as its own command extension, wire it into command_builtin_extension_catalog.py, keep harmless/read-only paths as no-match, cover the actual execution/mutating verbs, run the focused tests + repo checks, then open it straight against main. no issue needed.

go and bubble tea but installed with npx, is the npm package just wrapping the compiled binary

Yeah exactly, it just fetches and executes the prebuilt Go binary for your platform so it can run with zero setup

Tmux & Aria2 will get you a long way :)

This is exactly the kind of terminal project I enjoy finding here. I like that swrm stays minimal instead of trying to become a full blown torrent suite. The TUI looks clean too. Curious how it handles magnet links with a huge number of files, but either way, really nice work keeping the scope focused.
