This program was a learning excerise about networking by writing Bittorrent protocols from stratch. It is written in Python.

I used Kristen Widman's blog as a guide. Her posts were extremely helpful. I couldn't have gotten this far without her guide.

I also used the Bittorrent Unofficial Spec to format my packets.

Wireshark was also heavily used while debugging this software.

It is now asynchronous!!!

##Installation This project is currently in progress so I haven't packaged it yet properly. But you can install the necessary dependencies this way. Make a virtualenv and within your project directory, run the following command:

pip install -r requirements.txt

##Running the program All you need to do is pass in a valid torrent file where the tracker uses the HTTP protocol. Still working on a UDP implementation!

python <your torrent file>.torrent
