host/client A:
     dir:
          - file a
          - file b
          - file c
          - file d [host B][download]


host/client B:
     dir:
          - file a[ host A] [download]
          - file b[ host A] [download]
          - file c[ host A] [download]
          - file d

Also, I am not looking for syncthing, I need something which syncs meta data(not sure if this is the right word) not the actual files., and option to download individually or as per selection and run in background like KDE CONNECT.

What you are looking for is local peer-to-peer file sharing. When I was studying, we used eMule, but that is for Windows and old. I don't have a concrete software suggestion, but looking around the gnutella protocol could be promising.

Edit: QuantumCogs suggestion is also good, the use cases are slightly different.
