BitTorrent Client written in C++
This application is written in the C++ language and doesn't require any graphical component, such as an X server. Original ctorrent's upstream has stopped its development and now it's kept updated with new releases/bug fixes by a new developer. It's built as a console program and it can be even used remotely in a machine that provides outside ssh access. Other main features are:
- Support for large files (>2GB) and large torrents (>255 files).
- Strategic selection of pieces to request for download. *
Continuous queueing of download requests, tuned based on latency and throughput for each peer. * Improved download performance, including parallel requests in initial and endgame modes. * Improved bandwidth regulation. * Improved compatibility with other peers. * Performance optimization and bug fixes. * An interface for monitoring and managing multiple clients. * Dynamic cache allocation and management, including prefetch.
More information about the original but discontinued ctorrent's project can be found by browsing the following website: http://ctorrent.sourceforge.net
