Description

- Parse magnets links
- Get the trackers for it and communicate with the peers to get the infoHash details for the torrent files
- Communicate with the peers as usual, there isn't much change in the implementation.
- If no trackers are available, Do DHT (This needs a big change, don't implement it just yet)
