Random BitTorrent work

BEP 32: IPv6 extensions to the BitTorrent DHT

We are currently working on extending the BitTorrent (Mainline) DHT to work over IPv6. The current draft is available as BEP 32:

• BEP 32, formatted (local copy);
• BEP 32, RST source (local copy);
• BEP 32 (official copy, may be older).

There are currently three implementations of BEP-32:

• version 0.11 and later of my DHT (see below), included in Transmission version 1.80 and later and in Hekate;
• version 1.3.1 and later of the Azureus Mainline DHT plugin;
• version 0.95 and later of BitFlu.

There's a bunch of bootstrap nodes available; please see this forum posting for more information.

Minor extensions to the DHT

µTP support for Transmission

I am the author of the µTP support in Transmission. This has been merged into the Transmission trunk, and is enabled by default.

On a related note, see this note about tweaking TCP's congestion control algorithm.

Hekate

Hekate is a highly concurrent BitTorrent seeder.
