  1. libtorrent by rvalles · · Score: 2, Informative · on Long-Awaited BitTorrent 4.0 Released
    I use and recommend libtorrent, which is a C++ implementation for *nix. From their site: "It is designed to avoid redundant copying and storing of data that other clients and libraries suffer from. Licensed under the GPL.".

    In practice, it doesn't leak resources like all the python/java/etc implementations do, and its interactive ncurses client is the best bittorrent one I know of. It does also use our well-known GP L :).

    But I like the OS-tan's and I'm in love with Firefox-ko. Why do you want to kill those cute girls?

  3. Re:License Violation by yeremein · · Score: 1 · on Exeem Open Beta Released
    Mod parent up, from the sources files it's clear that it's BSD-style licence.

    Go to the libtorrent home page. In the first paragraph, we read:
    "LibTorrent is a BitTorrent library written in C++ for *nix. It is designed to avoid redundant copying and storing of data that other clients and libraries suffer from. Licensed under the GPL."
    Then download the source. There is a file named COPYING in the root directory of the archive, which contains (surprise) the GPL, version 2.

    It's a good strategy to prototype in a language that is quick to code in, and easy to change. It's easier to make a stable app in python than C++. You can let other people implement a more efficient client later.
