Description: 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.
.
