Short: BitTorrent client and server Uploader: ignorethisbit mickjt AT ihug com au (Michael Trebilcock) Type: comm/tcp Version: 1.3.2 Architecture: m68k-amigaos *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 :) Usage ===== Refer to the official ctorrent website at ctorrent.sourceforge.net
