Friendly bittorrent client

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

Goal is a simple way to test bittorrent client communication.

Requires Twisted and [email protected]:thomasballinger/bittorrent.git (https://github.com/thomasballinger/bittorrent)

TODO

----

* Add error handling to tracker

* Make a torrent file available for download that points to this tracker

* By-connection display of messages (separate sessions for each time connected)

* common tracker request mistake detection, including links to resource on encoding, BT spec, etc.

* implement a simple bittorent client that models per-connection whether it is choked, interested, etc.

* Factor out tacker, peer, and website into different files

ideas

-----

* different torrent files for leeching downloading vs accepting incoming connections

* test suite / goals for having a functioning bittorrent client based on conversations

* strategy test torrents that try things like having one peer that poisons the data

* testing other functionality: distributed hash table, etc.
