# BTFS (bittorrent filesystem)
## What is this?
With BTFS, you can mount any **.torrent** file or **magnet link** and then use it as any read-only directory in your file tree. The contents of the files will be downloaded on-demand as they are read by applications. Tools like **ls**, **cat** and **cp** works as expected. Applications like **vlc** and **mplayer** can also work without changes.
## Example usage
$ mkdir mnt
$ btfs video.torrent mnt
$ cd mnt
$ vlc video.mp4
To unmount and shutdown:
$ fusermount -u mnt
## Installing on Debian/Ubuntu
# apt-get install btfs
## Installing on Arch Linux
# pacman -S btfs
## Installing on Gentoo
# emerge -av btfs
## Installing on Fedora
# dnf install fuse-btfs
## Installing on Fedora OSTree
$ rpm-ostree install fuse-btfs
## OpenSUSE
# zypper install btfs
## Installing on macOS
Use [`brew`](https://brew.sh) to install on macOS.
$ brew install btfs
## Dependencies (on Linux)
