LibTorrent is a BitTorrent library written in C++ for Unix. LibTorrent library is designed to avoid the redundant buffers and data copying that most (all?) other BitTorrent implementations suffer from.
The library is single-threaded and the client handles the select loop. An interactive ncurses client is included as an example.
Here are some key features of "LibTorrent":
· The client has full control over the polling of sockets. · Sigc++ signals makes i easy for the client to react to events. · Fast resume which checks the file modification time.
· Avoids duplication of data where both the application and the kernel has a copy of the file chunk. · Unused chunks get thrown out or written to disk instead of the swap. · Kernel handles caching of the file.
· Uses the same thread. · Client can control the rate. (Will be improved) · Non-blocking and preload to memory with the mincore and madvise system calls.
· Fine-grained use of file read/write permissions, allows seeding of read-only files. · Allows torrents with unlimited number of files. · Opens closed files when mapping chunks to memory, with graceful error handling. · Support for files larger than 2 GB. · Different download priorities for files in the torrent.
· Multi-tracker support. · No dependency on any specific HTTP library, the client implements a wrapper class. · Dynamic request pipe size. · Upload and download throttle. · And much more i haven't bothered mentioning. (nor implementing)
Requirements:
· libsigc++ 2.0
What's New in This Release:
· This release adds support for DHT and cleans up the API.
