BeeTorrent Announcement
 

I am going to start programming a BitTorrent client in C pretty soon, and it's gonna kick some ass I think. It's going to be called BeeTorrent (the mascot will be a buzzing bee...because I said so), and the premise behind it is that I'm not going to be Captain Morality about it like every other retarded BT client developer out there. It's going to be designed with options to get your file to you as fast as possible. Things like client id spoofing and lax seeding options will be there, as well as the most efficient downloading algorithms I can muster. The client will be open sourced right here on Zelaron (god knows I ain't paying for a sourceforge subscription), and will be primarily for Windows, with a possible Linux client. All suggestions are welcome, but what I may need is someone to come up with a logo. I don't need help with programming, but you may look at the source as it is posted and offer your own source and suggestions, and credit will be given where it's due. All of what is done will be kept perfectly legal.

That's it...expect some source files posted to this thread soon, a working bare console client eventually, and a GUI someday.

Current code download: attached

Just dont make a 'gay theme' gui, anyways you got my full support.

Code for today uploaded.

I remeber Whytespy.....it was awesome....too bad u never gave me anymore scripts lol

But now, won't they just ban your client from the trackers, if you do that?

Option for client spoofing.

New code uploaded.

I'm going to have to check this out some time. I'll let you know what I think after I learn more about it.

New code.

Holy shit, you rock, take me now.

kk i giev crazy azn secks ^=^

New Code.

The bencode decoder is pretty much complete, and in main.c there's an example of all the horrible horrible code needed to hash and verify a torrent. But it's pretty fast...I hashed a 650 mb linux ISO in 25 seconds. Take a look at the insanity <3

You should include a compiled version for us lazy faggots.

EDIT: Give me a UI :(

Yeh.....compile it and give UI...whats this DOS nonsense?

I can understand that's it's easier but....yea

It's a console program, not a "DOS program.'

New code...this will probably be the last update before my power goes out due to the hurricane.

So who wants to explain to me how to run this thing?

i wrote a little bit of code, uploaded

also, i think it will compile on linux with "gcc -o beetorrent -lpthread main.c"

what parameters does it take in?

Oh yea, make the GUI in Qt, so only us leet QTs wil be able to use it

It doesn't do anything yet, I'm just building up the framework for it. Well, it can hash a torrent but thats about it. But I'm pretty close now to making it actually do shit.

Pro, remember, GTK or Qt libraries for GUI ;)
