project (including this documentation). The current state includes the
following features:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>Trackerless torrents (using a kademlia DHT)</li>
<li>trackerless torrents (using the Mainline kademlia DHT protocol) with
some <a class="reference" href="dht_extensions.html">DHT extensions</a>.</li>
<li>support for IPv6</li>
<li>piece-wise, unordered, incremental file allocation</li>
<li>uses separate threads for checking files and for main downloader, with a
fool-proof thread-safe library interface. (i.e. There's no way for the
user to cause a deadlock). (see <a class="reference" href="manual.html#threads">threads</a>)</li>
<li>adjusts the length of the request queue depending on download rate.</li>
<li>multitracker extension support (as <a class="reference" href="http://home.elp.rr.com/tur/multitracker-spec.txt">specified by John Hoffman</a>)</li>
<li>supports files &gt; 2 gigabytes.</li>
<li>serves multiple torrents on a single port and in a single thread</li>
<li>gzipped tracker-responses</li>
<li>fast resume support, a way to get rid of the costly piece check at the
start of a resumed torrent. Saves the storage state, piece_picker state
as well as all local peers in a separate fast-resume file.</li>
<li><a class="reference" href="manual.html#http-seeding">HTTP seeding</a>, as <a class="reference" href="http://www.getright.com/seedtorrent.html">specified by Michael Burford of GetRight</a>.</li>
<li>piece picking on block-level (as opposed to piece-level).
This means it can download parts of the same piece from different peers.
It will also prefer to download whole pieces from single peers if the
download speed is high enough from that particular peer.</li>
<li>supports the <a class="reference" href="extension_protocol.html">udp-tracker protocol</a> by Olaf van der Spek.</li>
<li>queues torrents for file check, instead of checking all of them in parallel.</li>
<li>supports http proxies and proxy authentication</li>
<li>uses separate threads for checking files and for main downloader, with a
fool-proof thread-safe library interface. (i.e. There's no way for the
user to cause a deadlock). (see <a class="reference" href="manual.html#threads">threads</a>)</li>
<li>supports http proxies and basic proxy authentication</li>
<li>gzipped tracker-responses</li>
<li>can limit the upload and download bandwidth usage and the maximum number of
unchoked peers</li>
<li>piece-wise, unordered, incremental file allocation</li>
<li>implements fair trade. User settable trade-ratio, must at least be 1:1,
but one can choose to trade 1 for 2 or any other ratio that isn't unfair
to the other party.</li>
<li>fast resume support, a way to get rid of the costly piece check at the
start of a resumed torrent. Saves the storage state, piece_picker state
as well as all local peers in a separate fast-resume file.</li>
<li>supports an <a class="reference" href="extension_protocol.html">extension protocol</a>. See <a class="reference" href="manual.html#extensions">extensions</a>.</li>
<li>supports files &gt; 2 gigabytes.</li>
<li>supports an <a class="reference" href="udp_tracker_protocol.html">extension protocol</a>. See <a class="reference" href="manual.html#extensions">extensions</a>.</li>
<li>supports the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">no_peer_id=1</span></tt> extension that will ease the load off trackers.</li>
<li>supports the <a class="reference" href="udp_tracker_protocol.html">udp-tracker protocol</a> by Olaf van der Spek.</li>
<li>possibility to limit the number of connections.</li>
<li>delays have messages if there's no other outgoing traffic to the peer, and
doesn't send have messages to peers that already has the piece. This saves
bandwidth.</li>
<li>does not have any requirements on the piece order in a torrent that it
resumes. This means it can resume a torrent downloaded by any client.</li>
<li>adjusts the length of the request queue depending on download rate.</li>
<li>supports the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">compact=1</span></tt> tracker parameter.</li>
<li>selective downloading. The ability to select which parts of a torrent you
want to download.</li>
<li>ip filter</li>
<li>ip filter to disallow ip addresses and ip ranges from connecting and
being connected</li>
