Bitflu: Daemon-like Bittorrent client in Perl

Posted by resmo on October 10, 2008 under OSS

Bitflu [1] (under The Artistic License [2]) is a free BitTorrent client. The client was written in Perl and is designed to run as a daemon (7×24h , like mlnet) on Linux, *BSD and maybe even OSX.

* Multiple downloads
* Designed to run as a daemon/No GUI: You can connect to the client via telnet and/or http (AJAX)
* Security: The client can chroot itself and drop privileges
* Bandwith shaping (currently only upload)
* Crash-Proof design: Crashes or a full filesystem will never corrupt your downloads again :-)
* Non-Threading/Non-Forking design: All connections are handled in non-blocking state using a dynamic select loop
