streamlift-worker

Distributed download worker for StreamLift.
Designed to run in Google Colab — paste the one-liner from the dashboard and go.

What it does

  • Registers itself with the StreamLift backend
  • Polls for download tasks (HTTP URLs or magnet links)
  • Downloads files and streams them directly to Mega (zero local disk) or saves them locally
  • Reports live progress back to the backend
  • Sends heartbeats with CPU / RAM / network metrics

Install & run (Colab cell)

The StreamLift UI generates this for you with all credentials pre-filled:

!pip install -q requests psutil
!pip install -q streamlift-megapy
!pip install -q git+https://github.com/shubhra92/streamlift-worker.git
