BitFiend

BitFiend is a BitTorrent client written in C. It is multithreaded with POSIX threads.
It can be built for Linux and has a command line interface.

The client has successfully torrented Ubuntu ISOs and a number of academic torrents.
At the moment, it lacks support for UDP trackers, accurate bandwidth reporting,
and various other nice-to-haves. I plan to add these features and more in the future.

Building BitFiend

To build the command-line client, run make bfcli in the top-level directory.

To build the core of BitFiend as a static library, run make libbf in the top-level
directory. The library API can be found in libbf/bitfiend.h

BitFiend does not depend on any third party libraries. It requires a C99 compiler with
GNU extensions as well as POSIX compliance. Some non-portable Linux-specific code is
present.
