Kamaelia - BitTorrent
kamaelia ✒ bittorrent
Overview
Note: This software and information is intended to faciliate legal file distribution. Do not use them for any unlawful activities. This site is not affiliated in any way with the creator(s) of BitTorrent.
These components were created by me (RJL) as part of my work for Google Summer of Code 2006.
They facilitate the downloading and distribution of files using the BitTorrent protocol. They interact with the official BitTorrent client (the 'Mainline' client) in order to provide this functionality. As such they require BitTorrent (version 4.20.4 or higher) and hence twisted too.
Possible uses of these components include:
- Peer-to-peer streaming (indeed this was the driving use case for development)
- Web seeding - have your webserver automatically use BitTorrent to share your larger files
- Distributing software updates
