# About

Oxen is a hybrid torrent client that aims to allow peers with small ammounts

of disk space the ability to positively impact a peer group.

# Status

So far you can ...

 * Start the application and monitor a directory for new torrents.

 * Add new torrents to the system

 * Set a max memory usage value (defaulting to 64 megs)

 * Download up to that max and seed any pieces known

# USAGE

    $ ./oxen --directory /tmp/torrents/

    DirectoryWatcher checking for new torrents in /tmp/

    Adding torrent d18fa3595643fb7bd13b25a60f4e6a13da77fcc5(1388 pieces at 524288 KiB)

# GOALS

 * Monitor a directory for torrent files @done

 * Periodically write out stats to a log @done

 * Have a "queue" of torrents which represent queues of torrent chunks.

 * Be able to delete and make unavailable chunks as their ratio is met or the seed-time window closes.

   - To be implemented as part of the temp_storage class.

 * Be able to configure start points within a torrent by default. aka, start at the end of a torrent, middle, front, etc

   - This can be done using the piece_priorty(...) method.
