Torrent-Tube is a set of tools to help decentralize YouTube videos, by moving them to torrents, which can be shared by many people. It includes:

A Torrent-Tube search site which searches the Torrents-csv search engine to see if the given YouTube video already exists, and is being seeded.
- It does this by extracting the YouTube [VIDEO_ID] from a link, which you can also do manually if you like (IE, the text after watch?v=...).
A script to check for previously made torrents, and if there are none, then download, and create torrent files from YouTube videos, with a uniform naming style and format, taken from TheFrenchGhosty's YouTube-DL-Scripts.
You will need to upload these torrent files yourself to a service (details below), and seed them.
You can also post these videos to lemmy.ml/c/torrenttube, with the magnet link as the URL, and a webp video thumbnail contained in the videos/MY_VIDEO folder.

Future plans

Create a browser plugin that checks a video link that you're currently watching for existing torrents.
Create a UI for viewing these additions. (The lemmy.ml community works for now)

The crisis in Gaza and the attempt of the American empire to maintain settler dominance throws up the question of what progress is. Is there a direction to history?
