Torrust BitTorrent　

A collection of packages that can support the building of applications using BitTorrent technologies.

This repository is a fork of GGist's project: bip-rs.

In this fork we have:

• Reorganized the crate collection into a cargo workspace packages. (#6)
• Switched to relative dependencies between packages. (#6)
• Modernized the code to compile with the current version of rust. (#6, #7)
• Implemented continuous integration using github workflows. (#8)
• Update some of the project dependencies. (#9, #17, #26, #27)
• Preformed a general cleanup of the codebase. (#10, #16, #18, #29, #31)
• Updated all dependencies to modern versions. ( #19, #20, #21, #22, #23, #25)
• Removed the utracker package (superseded by torrust-tracker for UDP tracker support). (#53, #70)

The future goals are:

• Publish updated versions of the crates. (#37)
• Increase coverage of unit tests. (#38)
• Overhaul the old mio architecture in the dht package. Making better use of Tokio. (#54)

We would like to make a special thanks to all the developers who had contributed to and created this great project.

Crates

We have not published any crates from this repository yet. Before publishing, we need to complete the ongoing refactoring work and settle on a crate naming convention (see #64). The leading candidates for the prefix are torrust- (e.g. torrust-bencode) and torrust-bittorrent- (e.g. torrust-bittorrent-bencode). See #37 for the publishing milestone.

The current (working) crate names, subject to renaming before publication:

Crate	Description
bencode	Parsing and converting bencoded data
dht	Bittorrent Mainline Distributed Hash Table
disk	FileSystem interface for managing torrent pieces on disk
handshake	Trait and implementation for the standard BitTorrent handshake
magnet	Parsing and constructing magnet links
metainfo	Parsing and building bittorrent metainfo (.torrent) files
peer	Communication with bittorrent peers via the peer wire protocol
select	Piece selection algorithm
util	Shared utilities used across packages

Original crates published by GGist

Note: These crates have not been updated since mid-2018.

The original crates were published under the bip_ prefix, short for BitTorrent Infrastructure Project (the former name of this project).
