CTorrent is a BitTorrent client implemented in C++ to be lightweight and quick.
|
||
|
|
The original has fallen a little behind in updates and bug fixes though.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The files here contain the good work of those who wrote the original CTorrent
|
||
|
|
base code and a number of patches that provide fixes and enhancements, as well
|
||
|
|
as additional fixes and enhancements.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The purpose of the Enhanced CTorrent effort is to fix problems that remain in
|
||
|
|
the code, modernize existing features and algorithms, and implement new
|
||
|
|
features while maintaining low overhead requirements and a high standard of
|
||
|
|
performance (both part of the original CTorrent design philosophy).
|
||
|
|
Highlights of the enhanced client include:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* 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
|
||
|
|
* Flexible console I/O redirection
|
||
|
|
* Interactive control commands and menus
