News
Enhanced CTorrent -- 2006-06-27 03:23:40
I just stumbled across Enhanced CTorrent, which appears to be a branched version of CTorrent with numerous new features, improvements and bug fixes. It also incorporates many of the patches queued up here on the CTorrent Sourceforge page. I have not been able to reach the author, nor have I personally evaluated his work, but it looks really good! You might want to check it out as a better alternative.

CTorrent discontinued -- 2006-06-07 15:46:51

While this is old news, I thought I'd put it up on the webpage as an official annoucement. The ctorrent project has been cancelled (finally!). Ever since the main developer, YuHong, left the project back in 2004 there has not been a single release.

The homepage and its content (files) will remain online for anyone wanting to take a peak at the sourcecode (for whatever purpose) or simply use the application. Up till today the homepage has been semi-broken, as some of you have noticed (and pointed out). The reason for this was a structural change to SourceForges MySQL cluster, which made our database connection invalid. This has been corrected, however, all old records has unfortunately been lost. This means that all previous news records and more importantly, all FAQ entries, are lost. Forever!

I still see a little activity on the mailinglists and forums. So some people obviously find their way here, looking for a good console btclient. Kinda sad it had to end like this. But fear not, there are alternatives! You might want to look into any of the following:

  • rTorrent (libtorrent) is a lightweight client utilizing the "almost famous" bittorrent backend developed by the same group.
  • The official headless python client is not that bad, you can get it via bittorrent.com or if you run debian, the bittorrent package.
