This library is awesome - any idea of when the rest of the features on the ToDo list are implemented?

I came across this aswell - do you guys have any idea of where this project is headed? Do you have any usecases? why would i use this and don't use for example a uTorrent api wrapper?

@sommmen uTorrent API wrapper requires uTorrent installed, right? It's much easier to just develop with this library, and this library also has cleaner code.

Hi, thanks for your interest in this project. It's been a few months but I do intend to spend some more time on this - I've recently published a package to nuget.org so I'll update the docs to reflect this.

In terms of implementing the rest of the features, some of them are quite big (specifically DHT and uTorrent transport protocol) so they are unlikely to all be completed any time soon I'm afraid.

In terms of the uTorrent API, I'm not too familiar with it but I think what @ffMathy mentioned is exactly right. If you can use that instead then it will certainly have more features and be more reliable since uTorrent has been around for a long time. This project is for situations where you need something written in C# with no external dependencies and is intended to offer a lot of flexibility in changing how things work through the modular design.

Thanks for the reply Samuel.

Is DHT what will give Magnet support? Also, are there any resources on DHT that can make others help implementing it?

Also, perhaps this can be used?
