Projects

BitTorrent

BitTorrent is a tool for copying files from one machine to another. FTP punishes sites for being popular. Since all uploading is done from one place, a popular site needs big iron and big bandwidth. With BitTorrent, clients automatically mirror files they download, making the publisher's burden ... [More] almost nothing. Prior to version 6.0, BitTorrent was written in Python, and was free software. The source code for versions 4.x and 5.x are released under the BitTorrent Open Source License, a modified version of the Jabber Open Source License. Versions up to and including 3.4.2 were distributed under the MIT license. Version 5.3 was relicensed under the GPL. [Less]

aria2

aria2 is a utility for downloading files. The supported protocols are HTTP(S), FTP, BitTorrent (DHT, PEX, MSE/PE), and Metalink. It can download one or more files individually or from multiple sources/protocols at the same time and tries to utilize your maximum download bandwidth (by using ... [More] multiple threads and downloading data from HTTP(S)/FTP, while also uploading to the BitTorrent swarm). Using Metalink's chunk checksums, aria2 automatically validates chunks of data while downloading a file like BitTorrent. The physical memory usage is typically 3MB(normal HTTP/FTP downloads) to 6MB(BitTorrent downloads). CPU usage in BitTorrent with download speed of 1500KB/sec is around 6%. [Less]

lftp

lftp is a command-line file transfer program which besides FTP, also supports FTPS, HTTP, HTTPS, HFTP, FISH, and SFTP. A BitTorrent client is also built-in as torrent command. In addition to features common in advanced FTP clients, such as recursively mirroring entire directory trees, location ... [More] bookmarks and resuming downloads, lftp also supports more advanced functionality. Transfers can be scheduled for execution at a later time, bandwidth can be throttled, transfer queues can be set up, and Unix shell-like job control is supported. The client can be fully scripted, instead of being used interactively. [Less]

PeerTracker

PeerTracker is an Open Sourced, Simple, Efficient and Fast BitTorrent Tracker With the increasing number of public trackers shutting down, it only makes sense for the average user to setup one of their own. To accomplish this, PeerTracker has been designed from the ground up to be easily ... [More] deployed and operated from the typical shared hosting environment. The focus of this project is entirely centered on maximizing speed, minimizing http server and database resource consumption while at the same time providing full scale tracking capabilities. PeerTracker does not concern itself with the indexing or uploading of torrents, nor with share ratio monitoring or any other form of user management. [Less]
