Short: BitTorrent client and server
Uploader: ignorethisbit@mickjt @AT@ ihug.com.au (Michael Trebilcock)
Version: 1.3.2
Type: comm/tcp
*NOTE* This program hasn't been thoroughly tested.
*NOTE2* You will need 16meg free fastram, unless you change the
default cache size with the -C option.
Intro
=====
Um... Just read http://bitconjurer.org/BitTorrent/
It's sorta like Kazaa I suppose, without a search option.
You use Google or torrent websites to search.
Bugs
====
When you first start downloading the file and it generates the files,
it seems to somehow only tell the filesystem the name and size.
The is what causes the files to be generated instantly, no matter how
big. The result is when you open up the generated files in a text editor
before ctorrent even starts downloading, it will be filled with junk
that you have previous deleted from your harddrive.
I can only assume that on linux, it generates a file filled with NULL
characters.
It doesn't seem to matter however, because when you resume a file it
checks each part and resumes from the first corrupted part it finds.
Legal mumbo jumbo crap
======================
Read GPL.txt
This program also uses parts of OpenSSL, also under the GPL.
What's that .pch file?
======================
If you have GG:bin/strip, you can use that on "ctorrent".
If you don't, then you can use "spatch" to do the same thing,
it just takes out all of the debug crap (300k worth).
Some people like the debug crap in it ;)
Huh? It's a server too?
=======================
Um, yeah... Create a single .torrent file for all of the files you
want to share, then run "ctorrent thetorrentfile.torrent".
ctorrent doesn't come with a tracker server though, you will have to
sneakily use someone elses :)
