From 4c383af36602612be745764463dd76fee17ae205 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sebastian Hahn Date: Sun, 16 Aug 2009 22:21:11 +0200 Subject: Add the ability to download files via BitTorrent The Client has learned a new option, --download-method, too specify whether we're downloading directly or via BitTorrent. This implementation has a few remaining issues, the biggest one is that seeding isn't implemented at all (when the download stops, Thandy stops sharing). Failure to download due to no available peers also doesn't work. --- doc/interface.txt | 6 ++++++ 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+) (limited to 'doc') diff --git a/doc/interface.txt b/doc/interface.txt index 22a35ed..b50442b 100644 --- a/doc/interface.txt +++ b/doc/interface.txt @@ -39,6 +39,12 @@ Recognized options for thandy-client update are: Output log messages in a format designed to be easy for controllers to read.
