MonoTorrent Updates

Alan McGovern the developer of the BitSharp libraries (Bittorrent APIs for the CLI) started blogging.

Alan has continued his work from the Summer of Code, here are a few updates from him:

• On some challenges he is facing.
• Performance improvements: downloads went from 30k/s to 4.5MB/s and memory consumption is under 10 MB.
• GUI for BitSharp.

From his blog:

So it looks like i well achieved my aim of creating a cross platform client that uses less than 1/3 the ram that Azureus uses.

Here are a few screenshots of the updated GUI (Piotr did the GUI originally, and it has now been updated to the latest BitSharp API changes):

GUI running on Windows (This is Gtk# on Windows).

Alan keeps a To-Do list here, which should make it simple for people to help in the effort.

a few more screenshots are available here and here.
