BTG and libtorrent-rasterbar
Posted by fsateler on Sun 17 Jun 2007 at 00:39
Today I uploaded my packages for BTG and Rasterbar's libtorrent to BTG's web site. BTG is a BitTorrent client working on top of (evidently) Rasterbar's libtorrent. The cool thing about it is that it works in a client-server model: there is a daemon, and there are 4 clients you can use to connect to it. This makes it very interesting for use in a home network: leave bittorrent running in your headless server, and connect to it via one of the interfaces: cli, ncurses, gtk and web-based.
What makes this double-interesting is that these are my first library and multi-binary packages, and that I setup a non-trivial signed repository on btg's ftp site. The public key is public_key.asc visible in the repository's root, and has an md5sum of 00f252f6c6da68f32972750db70ff262.
Now the only thing left is to get someone to sponsor it into Debian.
In an utterly, completely unrelated note, I can put html when in BBCode mode in here... which is really cool! Now I can use html and don't worry about those tedious <br/>

That's like inventing the bicycle: there already is very nice (if not the best) multi p2p (bittorent, edonkey, gnutella, http downloads, etc.) client called mldonkey (http://mldonkey.sf.net). You can control the backend via browser, or with desktop gui called sancho.
Very recommended.

The truth is mldonkey was not simple to setup last time I tried it: I never got it to work. I know it would have ended working, but I prefer simple stuff. Plus I don't really use the other networks, so it seams a bit overkill for my needs.
