Welcome to the libTorrent and rTorrent Project

Please support further development by donations through PayPal.

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.

The client uses ncurses and is ideal for use with screen or dtach. It supports saving of sessions and allows the user to add and remove torrents.

This project is developed by Jari Sundell, "Rakshasa", a student of computer science, math and japanese at the University of Oslo. He can be reached on sundell.software@gmail.com or #libtorrent@irc.worldforge.org, also an unofficial help channel may be found at #rtorrent@irc.freenode.net which should be used for user-support. If you didn't get a reply to a mail sent to this address, it may either mean he is busy or that you should have searched the ticket tracker/mailing list.
