Btpd is a utility for sharing files over the BitTorrent network protocol.
|
|
It runs in daemon mode, thus needing no controlling terminal or gui. Instead,
|
|
the daemon is controlled by the btcli command line utility, or other programs
|
|
capable of sending commands and queries on the btpd control socket.
|
|
|
|
The goal is to provide a healthy alternative to the still prevailing ftp/http
|
|
servers for file distribution sites and a good BitTorrent client for the
|
|
casual user.
|
|
|
|
Features of btpd include:
|
|
* Reasonable resource usage.
|
|
* Runs in daemon mode; no need for constant terminal or gui.
|
|
* Command line interface.
|
|
* Sharing of multiple torrents in one btpd process.
|
|
* Upload and download rate limiting.
|
|
* IPv6 support.
|
|
* Multitracker support.
|
|
|
|
Btpd is very simple and easy to use. The official README (which is located in
|
|
the standard documentation directory) is small and complete, so read it first.
