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
