Currently, torrent files are loaded by the torrent_info constructor. The torrent_info object essentially holds all state from the .torrent file.This post is arguing in favor of moving towards torrent_info only representing the immutable portion of ... [More] torrent files. i.e. what’s in the info-section. This is primarily motivated by the v2 piece-layers that are currently part of . . . [Less]

libtorrent-2.0 has just been released with a few major new features. One of them is support for BitTorrent v2. Most of the specification work of BEP 52 was done by the8472. The libtorrent support for bittorrent v2 was mostly implemented by Steven Siloti. BiglyBT also has an implementation of BitTorrent v2 to be released in . . .

This post argues the C++ rule: One should never forward declare a name from a 3rd party library This rule is a generalisation of the same rule for the standard library.

I recently bought a C.H.I.P. and naturally wanted to build libtorrent for it. I’m on a mac and chip runs arm, so first I needed to install the cross compiler toolchain. The target for chip is arm on linux, so the toolchain I’m looking for is “arm-linux-gnueabihf”. toolchain It seems like a fair number of people . . .
