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.
• 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.
• Minimize 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.
• Ability to create torrent files.
• Transfer rate and connection limits both global and per-torrent.
• UPnP and NAT-PMP support.

Planned in near future.

• Full proxy support.
• And a few other changes.

Changes from v 0.2.9 to 0.3:

1. File selection and/or priority settings.
2. Protocol Encryption.
3. New tabbed interface makes better use of screen real estate.
4. Updated to recent versions of Boost (1.34.1) and libtorrent. 5) Numerous bug fixes.
