### Future features



The next set of [core features can be tracked here](https://github.com/jpillora/cloud-torrent/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3Acore-feature). This feature set requires large structural changes and therefore requires a complete rewrite for best results. This rewrite is in progress in the `0.9` branch though it will take quite some time.



In summary, the core features will be:



* **Remote backends**



  It's looking like `0.9` will be more of a general purpose cloud transfer engine. It will be capable of transfering files from and source file-system to any destination file-system. A torrent can be viewed a folder with files, just like your local disk, and Dropbox. As long as it has a concept of files and folders, it could potentially be a cloud-torrent file-system backend. Track this issue https://github.com/jpillora/cloud-torrent/issues/24 for the list of proposed backends.



* **File Transforms**



  During a file tranfer, one could apply different transforms against the byte stream for various effect. For example, supported transforms might include: video transcoding (using ffmpeg), encryption and decryption, [media sorting](https://github.com/jpillora/cloud-torrent/issues/4) (file renaming), and writing multiple files as a single zip file.

  

* **Automatic updates** Binary will upgrade itself, adding new features as they get released.

  

* **RSS** Automatically add torrents, with smart episode filter.



Once completed, cloud-torrent will no longer be a simple torrent client and most likely project be renamed.
