A "swarming" peer-to-peer protocol which distributes traffic among its peers instead of a central server.

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.
-
- Make one large blocklist from the bluetack lists on iblocklist.com
- john.bitsurge.net/public/biglist.p2p.gz
- 2018-05-15 - Tested and works for Transmission.
Websites ∞
-
- They are often blocked. Consider using Tor, a web proxy or a VPN to access it.

Trackers ∞

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.
Editors ∞
Won't Test ∞
-
- KDE
-
BEncode Editor -- Edits any bencoded file, not just bittorrent-specific ones.
- Reportedly works under Wine.
