libtorrent

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
