Halite 0.3.4.0

Hal­ite (named after the min­eral) is a C++ Bit­Tor­rent cli­ent based on the excel­lent lib­t­or­rent lib­rary from Ras­ter­bar Soft­ware. The pro­gram also relies heav­ily on the Boost lib­rar­ies.

While not a heavy­weight in the bells & whistles cat­egory, Hal­ite is a func­tional Bit­Tor­rent cli­ent. So far its list of fea­tures include:

• File selec­tion and/or file pri­or­ity specifications.
• Man­aged tor­rent queue system.
• Disk cache support.
• Mag­net URI support.
• Track­er­less tor­rents (using the Main­line kadem­lia DHT pro­tocol).
• Sup­ports Mag­net URI torrents.
• Super-seeding.
• µTor­rent style multi-tracker announ­cing.
• IP fil­ter­ing with eMule style ipfilter.dat import.
• Pro­tocol Encryp­tion support.
• Trans­la­tions of the UI into a num­ber of lan­guages through the help of volun­teers. (if you wish to help with a trans­la­tion then please do)
• Min­im­ize to tray with trans­fer rate summary.
• Full Uni­code sup­port through UTF-8 and nat­ive Win­dows wide-char strings.
• Login sup­port where tracker requires it.
• Abil­ity to edit track­ers spe­cified in the torrent.
• Abil­ity to cre­ate tor­rent files.
• Port ran­dom­isa­tion and for­ward­ing (UnPlug and Play or NAT-PMP).
• Trans­fer rate and con­nec­tion lim­its both global and per-torrent.
• Shut­down scheduler.
