   Overview

   [8]CTorrent is a [9]BitTorrent client implemented in C++ to be
   lightweight and quick. The original has fallen a little behind in
   updates and bug fixes though.

   The files here contain the good work of those who wrote the original
   CTorrent base code and a number of patches that provide fixes and
   enhancements, as well as additional fixes and enhancements that I am
   contributing. I am not the original author, current maintainer, or any
   other official representative of CTorrent. The files on this page are
   not the original or official CTorrent distribution. I encourage you to
   visit the [10]CTorrent project page on SourceForge for further
   information.

   Enhanced CTorrent now has a [11]SourceForge project page with forums,
   bug reporting, and downloads.

  Platform

   Enhanced CTorrent is intended to run on any Unix-like system,
   including FreeBSD, Linux, Mac OS X, Solaris, Cygwin, etc. If it
   doesn't build or run properly without modification on your system,
   please post to the [12]forums or [13]send details.

  Features

   The purpose of the Enhanced CTorrent effort is to fix problems that
   remain in the code, modernize existing features and algorithms, and
   implement new features while maintaining low overhead requirements and
   a high standard of performance (both part of the original CTorrent
   design philosophy). Highlights of the enhanced client include:
     * Support for large files (>2GB) and large torrents (>255 files)
     * Strategic selection of pieces to request for download
     * Continuous queueing of download requests, tuned based on latency
       and throughput for each peer
     * Improved download performance, including parallel requests in
       initial and endgame modes
     * Improved bandwidth regulation
     * Improved compatibility with other peers
     * Performance optimization and bug fixes
     * An interface for monitoring and managing multiple clients
     * Dynamic cache allocation and management, including prefetch
     * Flexible console I/O redirection
     * Interactive control commands and menus

  Documentation

   For documentation that provides a little more than the help screen,
   please see the [14]User's Guide.

   For a list of changes in the current and previous versions, see the
   [15]ChangeLog file.

  Peer ID

   Beginning with dnh1.1 the default peer ID has been changed for
   convenience, as some other clients and trackers assume that Ctorrent
   is "buggy" and won't cooperate with it. [Guess what, there are plenty
   of others with bugs too.] The -P option is still available if you wish
   to use a different peer ID, but it is no longer necessary to do so in
   order to avoid this "ban".

   The new default peer ID prefix is "-CDversion-", where version is an
   indication of the version number (0101 for dnh1.1).

  CTCS

   [16]CTorrent Control Server (CTCS) is an interface for monitoring and
   managing Enhanced CTorrent clients. It can manage allocation of
   bandwidth, provide status information, and allow changes to the
   running configuration of each client. Support for this interface was
   added in the dnh2 release.

   News

   2008-06-14
          Version dnh3.3.2 is [17]released. This is a bug-fix release to
          correct known issues in dnh3.3.1.

   2008-04-26
          Version dnh3.3.1 is [18]released. This is a bug-fix release to
          correct known issues in dnh3.3.
          [19]CTCS 1.4.1 has also been released.

   2008-04-08
          Version dnh3.3 is [20]released. This release includes a number
          of bug fixes and optimizations; details are in the [21]change
          log.

   2007-11-27
          There is a bug in dnh3.2 that can cause a completed torrent to
          be reported as incomplete when restarting. An easy correction
          is to delete the "setvbuf" line in btfiles.cpp and recompile.
          This is recommended even if you have not observed the problem.

          While I'm here I may as well announce the new [22]SourceForge
          project page! This should be a big help toward organizing
          communications, tracking bugs, and maintaining code history.

   2007-07-23
          Version dnh3.2 is [23]released. This release includes a number
          of bug fixes and some optimizations; details are in the
          [24]change log.

   2007-06-13
          The timestamp on one of the autoconf files was incorrect, which
          may have caused build problems for some people. The dnh3.1
          release package has been updated to correct this.

   2007-06-10
          A possible crash when exiting the program has been corrected.
          The bug is essentially harmless except that you might have a
          core file created as a result. The dnh3.1 release package has
          been updated below to correct this.

   2007-06-05
          Version dnh3.1 is [25]released. There are several new features
          and bug fixes; details can be found in the [26]change log. If
          you're using [27]CTCS, you should also upgrade it to version
          1.4 in order to use new client configuration options.

   2007-05-23
          The dnh3-update patch has been updated to fix a potential
          crash, and a rate measurement issue on some devices.

   2007-04-27
          A couple more critical issues in release dnh3 have been found
          and fixed. To reduce any confusion or inconvenience in the
          tracking and application of patches, all such fixes will now be
          distributed in a single patch file that will be updated as
          necessary, while its name will not change. See the [28]Download
          section for more details.

   2007-04-18
          Two [29]patches are available for dnh3; one corrects a general
          problem and the other provides support for Mac OSX.

   2007-04-11
          Version dnh3 is [30]released. There are several significant new
          features; release notes can be found in the [31]change log. If
          you're using [32]CTCS, you should also upgrade it to version
          1.3 so that bandwidth management will work correctly.

   2007-02-25
          A [33]patch is available to fix a bug that can cause a crash
          when reassigning a piece for download.

   2006-11-05
          Version dnh2.2 is [34]released, mostly for bug fixes. Thanks to
          those who have reported them and helped with debugging!
          A simple [35]user's guide is also available.

   2006-09-03
          Version dnh2.1 is [36]released, along with [37]CTCS 1.1. Both
          updates fix issues when using CTCS on Linux, among other
          things.

   2006-04-26
          The [38]CTCS protocol is finally documented.

   2006-04-25
          A [39]patch is available to fix a bug in my solution for the
          vfat filesystem issue. This bug can cause the client to crash
          when creating a file on any filesystem type; the patch is
          recommended for all users.

   2006-01-15
          Version dnh2 is released! This version includes a number of
          significant [40]changes, including large file support, piece
          selection, tuned request queue depth, and support for
          [41]CTorrent Control Server.
