Halite (named after the mineral) is a C++ BitTorrent client based on the excellent libtorrent library from Rasterbar Software. The program also relies heavily on the Boost libraries.

Key Features

While still at an early state of development Halite is a functional BitTorrent client. So far its list of features is pretty standard but that is because I want to ensure it does the basic stuff well. That said it supports:

• File selection and/or file priority specifications.
• 'Managed torrent' queue system.
• Disk cache support.
• Trackerless torrents (using the Mainline kademlia DHT protocol).
• IP filtering with eMule style ipfilter.dat import.
• Protocol Encryption support.
• Translations of the UI into a number of languages through the help of volunteers.
• Minimise to tray with transfer rate summary.
• Full Unicode support through UTF-8 and native Windows wide-char strings.
• Login support where tracker requires it.
• Ability to edit trackers specified in the torrent.
• Transfer rate and connection limits both global and per-torrent.
• Torrent file creation.
• Port randomisation and forwarding (UnPlug and Play or NAT-PMP).
• Compatible with UAC.
• Shutdown scheduler.

Windows 7 users:

Win 7 myself but still support is not 100%. Notably ipfilter cause the UI to appear to freeze briefly after just starting Halite. Also the shutdown scheduler can't actually switch off the PC unless
started with Admin privileges which isn't necessarily recommended unless the feature is really needed.
