A BitTorrent client completely written in C#? [closed]

Question

Unfortunately i don't have 50 reputation to add comments, so I have to write another answer. My question was directed at this comment:

"but honeslty I feel it's still got a long way to go to be on par with other opensource bit torrent clients."

What features do you feel are missing that makes it inferior to other libraries/clients? An incomplete list of features includes:

1. 100% platform independent
2. IPV6 support
3. Super-seeding
4. A full bittorrent tracker
5. DHT
6. Peer exchange (utorrent style)
7. Encryption
8. Memory cache
9. Prioritised downloading
10. Selective downloading (technically this is just a subset of Prioritised downloading)
11. Fast Peer extensions
12. Local peer discovery,
13. Ban lists (whitelisting/blacklisting of IPs at the same time)
14. Magnet link downloads
15. Endgame mode
16. Libtorrent extension protocol
17. rate limiting (per torrent/global)
18. Http seeding (webseeding) - getright style
19. Individual file relocation
20. What else do you want ;)

So, is it just a case of you not realising the full potential of monotorrent or are there features missing that you consider critical? If so, patches are always welcome.

""written on mono" is never a bad thing. It just I was looking for something on MS .Net"

I think you misunderstand. MonoTorrent/bitsharp does build and run on MS.NET ;) All you have to do is check the code out from SVN, open MonoTorrent.sln and hit F5.

Hope that helps.

MonoTorrent is wonderful client and server library. There is a GUI written on GTK# - Monsoon for now it runs only at Linux. If you have a time to spend you could write a WPF GUI or with little modification to port Monsoon to Windows.

Look for Alan McGovern for more information.

MonoTorrent

or

BitSharp

Also check out Hadouken - fully written in C#, but runs as a Windows service. It could probably be made to run on Mono.
