libtorrent is a C++ library that aims to be a good alternative to all the
other bittorrent implementations around. It is a
library and not a full featured client, although it comes with a working
`example client`__.

The main goals of libtorrent are:

	* to be cpu efficient
	* to be memory efficient
	* to be very easy to use
