I am implementing the BitTorent protocol using Java via this spec. In the messages section all messages are fixed length except 2 of them; for one of them it's the only variable message after the handshake so I can check others and assume it's a piece message when no other messages met. But for the following message bitfield: <len=0001...
I'm interested in how you would approach implementing a BitTorrent-like social network. It might have a central server, but it must be able to run in a peer-to-peer manner, without communication to it: If a whole region's network is disconnected from the internet, it should be able to pass updates from users inside the region to each o...
I am trying to create a script to help me move large files accross an internal Windows network, and was hoping that Ruby, in conjunction with BitTorrent would be ideal. However, my code doesnt seem to actually download anything. I know the RubyTorrent project has been abandoned for a long time, so I was hoping one of my fellow Stackove...
I am working on a bittorrent client. While communicating with the peers the easiest way for me to communicate with them is to spawn a new thread for each one of them. But if the user wants to keep connections with large number of peers that my cause me to spawn a lot of threads. Another solution i thought of is have one thread to itera...
I've been throwing a little bit of spare time at writing a BitTorrent client, mostly out of curiosity but partly out of a desire to improve my c# skills. I've been using the theory wiki as my guide. I've built up a library of classes for handling BEncoding, which I'm quite confident in; basically because the sanity check is to regenera...

Hi, I'm building an application that will serve bittorrent video downloads. Which BT tracker is scalable, fast and efficient, and easy to integrate into an application?

Hi, so I've read the Bittorrent specification and done a number of searches, trying to find out how I can get the seeds/peers/downloaded data from a torrent tracker (using Python). I can calculate the info hash from a Torrent no problem, which matches up with the info hash given by various working torrent applications. However, when I t...
I'm attempting to create a BitTorrent library in C# as a side project, for fun. However, I've run into a design issue that could create problems later on if I don't address it now. I currently have a PeerGreeter class, which puts a Socket in a listening state for any peers that try to connect to me, to serve me files in the torrent. Whe...
