Share mode indicates that we are not interested in downloading the
torrent, but merley want to improve our share ratio (i.e. increase
it). A torrent started in share mode will do its best to never
download more than it uploads to the swarm. If the swarm does not
have enough demand for upload capacity, the torrent will not
download anything. This mode is intended to be safe to add any
number of torrents to, without manual screening, without the risk
of downloading more than is uploaded.< / p >
< p > A torrent in share mode sets the priority to all pieces to 0,
except for the pieces that are downloaded, when pieces are decided
to be downloaded. This affects the progress bar, which might be set

< p > Since the callback function < tt class = "docutils literal" > cb< / tt > is called from within libtorrent,
it is critical to not perform any blocking operations. Ideally not
even locking a mutex. Pass any data required for this function along
with the function object's context and make the function entirely
self-contained. The only reason data blobs' values are computed
via a function instead of just passing in the new value is to avoid
race conditions. If you want to < em > update< / em > the value in the DHT, you
must first retrieve it, then modify it, then write it back. The way
the DHT works, it is natural to always do a lookup before storing and
calling the callback in between is convenient.< / p >

performance environments with a very high < a class = "reference external" href = "reference-Alerts.html#alert" > alert< / a > churn rate, this can
save significant amount of time compared to popping alerts one at a
time. Each call requires one round-trip to the network thread. If
alerts are produced in a higher rate than they can be popped (when
popped one at a time) it's easy to get stuck in an infinite loop,
trying to drain the < a class = "reference external" href = "reference-Alerts.html#alert" > alert< / a > queue. Popping the entire queue at once
avoids this problem.< / p >
< p > However, the < tt class = "docutils literal" > pop_alerts< / tt > function comes with significantly more
responsibility. You pass in an < em > empty< / em > < tt class = "docutils literal" > < span class = "pre" > std::dequeue< alert*> < / span > < / tt > to it.
If it's not empty, all elements in it will be deleted and then
cleared. All currently pending alerts are returned by being swapped
into the passed in container. The responsibility of deleting the
alerts is transferred to the caller. This means you need to call
delete for each item in the returned dequeue. It's probably a good
idea to delete the alerts as you handle them, to save one extra pass
over the dequeue.< / p >

time-out, and no alerts are available, it returns 0. If at least one
< a class = "reference external" href = "reference-Alerts.html#alert" > alert< / a > was generated, a pointer to that < a class = "reference external" href = "reference-Alerts.html#alert" > alert< / a > is returned. The < a class = "reference external" href = "reference-Alerts.html#alert" > alert< / a > is
not popped, any subsequent calls to < tt class = "docutils literal" > wait_for_alert< / tt > will return the
same pointer until the < a class = "reference external" href = "reference-Alerts.html#alert" > alert< / a > is popped by calling < tt class = "docutils literal" > pop_alert< / tt > . This
is useful for leaving any < a class = "reference external" href = "reference-Alerts.html#alert" > alert< / a > dispatching mechanism independent of

< p > This sets a function to be called (from within libtorrent's netowrk
thread) every time an < a class = "reference external" href = "reference-Alerts.html#alert" > alert< / a > is posted. Since the function (< tt class = "docutils literal" > fun< / tt > ) is
run in libtorrent's internal thread, it may not call any of
libtorrent's external API functions. Doing so results in a dead lock.< / p >
< p > The main intention with this function is to support integration with
platform-dependent message queues or signalling systems. For instance,
on windows, one could post a message to an HNWD or on linux, write to
a pipe or an eventfd.< / p >
