gotorrent

BitTorrent client written in Go

Usage

$ ./gotorrent file.torrent[ file2.torrent[ ...]]

TODO

• LRU cache for file handles to decrease the number of fopen/fclose calls
• When downloading the same piece from multiple peers, send cancel to the peers who weren't fast enough
• Show upload/download speed
• Limit upload/download speed
• Text-based UI (ncurses?) / GUI (must still be possible to run as CLI)
• Request piece from peer when receiving Have if we don't have the piece and peer is idle
• Server-side (allow other peers to connect to us)
• Option to seed after completed download
• Implement a choking algorithm to prevent peers from choking us
• More tests!
