=========

BitTorrent client written in Go

##### Usage

```bash

$ ./gotorrent file.torrent[ file2.torrent[ ...]]

```

##### TODO

* LRU cache for file handles to decrease the number of fopen/fclose calls

* When downloading the same piece from multiple peers, send cancel to the peers who weren't fast enough

* Show upload/download speed

* Limit upload/download speed

* Text-based UI (ncurses?) / GUI (must still be possible to run as CLI)

* Request piece from peer when receiving Have if we don't have the piece and peer is idle

* Server-side (allow other peers to connect to us)

* Option to seed after completed download

* Implement a choking algorithm to prevent peers from choking us

* More tests!
