Torrus

a bittorrent client focusing on maximum performance.

Motivation

This is mostly a personal project which I made in my spare time to understand about Networking and distributed systems.

File share strategy

Torrus client upon connection with a Peer immediately sends Interested message. Most of the time the coresponding remote peer responds with a Unchoke message. The client and the remote peer can then start the Bittorrent wire protocol.
