| | 33 | !LibTorrent is a !BitTorrent library written in C++ for *nix, with a focus on high performance and good code. The library differentiates itself from other implementations by transfering directly from file pages to the network stack. |
| | 34 | |
| | 35 | The client uses ncurses and is ideal for use with [http://www.gnu.org/software/screen/ screen] or [http://dtach.sourceforge.net/ dtach]. It supports saving of sessions and allows the user to add and remove torrents. |
