• Downloading an rss feed of magnet links

• BitTorrent proxies - A proxy will slow your download.

Requirements ∞

• Complete encryption.

  • Since ISPs are increasingly becoming pawns for the entertainment industry's hate-on for BitTorrent. That's like blaming a car company for vehicular manslaughters.
• Select individual files to download.
• Set/modify a list of trackers.
• Balance between multiple torrents.
• Mechanisms to stop seeding under certain conditions (ratio/time)

• Start on bootup (unattended recovery on power loss)

  • I don't actually need interaction at the cli, a GUI is fine.

No I don't actually need remote access, since I can ssh or remote desktop into it.

Notes ∞

• torium requires 229MB of dependencies (on my desktop). No thanks. I should re-investigate if their website comes back up. TODO - Try harder

Blocklist ∞

TODO - I have an old one, list services etc.

• getBlockLists.sh

  • Make one large blocklist from the bluetack lists on iblocklist.com

Strip out UDP references ∞

2011-08-13

*unsolved* - My desire is to strip out UDP references so that BitTornado will work with those .torrent files.
After searching for a while, I have not been able to find anything that works for me. Boo.

• GTorrentViewer

Editors ∞

• BEncode

  • Not sure what it is.. one guy says he uses it interactively with IPython

Won't Test ∞

• Torrent Editor

  • KDE

• BEncode Editor -- Edits any bencoded file, not just bittorrent-specific ones.

  • Reportedly works under Wine.
