#166 Feature request: Integrate libtorrent.
Hey, I can’t believe nobody asked this already (I checked), but since there is the very impressive libtorrent, and giFT is modular, this would be the perfect combination. BitTorrent is knowingly the largest network. And this would finally allow users, to replace mldonkey on headless servers with giFT. (The requirements for this, are to allow a headless multi-protocol server with at least the biggest networks [BitTorrent, Gnutella, maybe eDonkey/Overnet/Kad])
Shouldn’t be that hard, since both giFT and libtorrent were practically designed for integration from the very beginning on.
With a bit of luck, one could ask the developers of Sancho, to implement giFT’s protocol.
By the way: I bet you could get lots of ideas from mlDonkey, if you haven’t already. It was a great piece of software, as long as it was maintained. Very configurable. And the RSS feature is still my favorite, in combination with eztv.it.
