BitBuddy is a free p2p file sharing utility which is totally compatible with Bittorrent, which is one of the most popular p2p protocol designed for high-speed distribution of 100MB or GB sized files.
BitBuddy is a powerful, clean, fast, and easy-to-use bittorrent client. It supports simultaneous downloads, download queue, fast-resume, chatting, disk cache, speed limits, proxy, in futrue selected downloads in torrent package,port mapping, ip-filter, etc.
Here are some key features of "BitBuddy":
· multitracker extension support (as described by John Hoffman)
· serves multiple torrents on a single port and a single thread
· supports http proxies and proxy authentication
· gzipped tracker-responses
· piece picking on block-level like in Azureus (as opposed to piece-level).
· queues torrents for file check, instead of checking all of them in parallel.
· uses separate threads for checking files and for main downloader, with a fool-proof thread-safe library interface. (i.e. There's no way for the user to cause a deadlock).
· can limit the upload and download bandwidth usage and the maximum number of unchoked peers
· piece-wise, unordered, file allocation
· implements fair trade. User settable trade-ratio, must at least be 1:1, but one can choose to trade 1 for 2 or any other ratio that isn't unfair to the other party. (i.e. real tit for tat)
· fast resume support, a way to get rid of the costly piece check at the start of a resumed torrent. Saves the storage state, piece_picker state as well as all local peers in a separate fast-resume file.
· supports the extension protocol described by Nolar.
· supports files > 2 gigabytes.
· supports the no_peer_id=1 extension that will ease the load off trackers.
· supports the udp-tracker protocol by Olaf van der Spek.
· possibility to limit the number of connections.
· delays have messages if there's no other outgoing traffic to the peer, and doesn't send have messages to peers that already has the piece. This saves bandwidth.
· does not have any requirements on the piece order in a torrent that it resumes. This means it can resume a torrent downloaded by any client.
· adjusts the length of the request queue depending on download rate.
· supports the compact=1 tracker parameter.
