Relay UDP torrent tracker traffic via TCP.

Intro

-----

Normally, tracker communication goes through UDP. But in

some companies or schools, all UDP traffic is blocked by

the network admins. However, TCP/IP traffic is of course

not blocked. Hopefully you can connect with any external

host. If so, we can setup a proxy system that will allow

you to do the tracker communication by using TCP instead

of UDP, which hopefully not blocked.

So normally you have:

```

  [Torrent Client]     <--- UDP --->     [Tracker]

```

But this application does this:

```

  [Torrent Client]  <-X- UDP Blocked --->  [Tracker]

          |                                    |

          |                                    |

     Local UDP                                UDP

          |                                    |

          |                                    |

  [SpooferBT Proxy]    <--- TCP --->  [SpooferBT Server]

                                           or Host

```

So, once this setup is created. You should add the proxy

to the torrent client's list of trackers. Peers will now

be acquired by this application.

Good luck!

Example run commands

--------------------

Run the localhost "fake" proxy tracker:

```

java -jar SpooferBT.jar --proxy --proxy-port 12345 --host [ip_here]:[portA] --tracker tracker.publicbt.com:80

```

Run the auxiliary server application that runs on IP address ```[ip_here]```:

```

java -jar SpooferBT.jar --server --server-port [portA]

```

Now you can add ```udp://localhost:12345``` to your tracker list in the torrent client.
