NAME

Net::BitTorrent::Todo - TODO list for Perl module Net::BitTorrent

High priorities

• ...none?

Short term goals

• Complete test suite

  Create a series of bad .torrent files to test N::B::Torrent with:

  • invalid pieces string

    • string length does not % 40 evenly

    • string is shorter than 40 chars

    • (piece_length * num_pieces) is nowhere near total_size_of_torrent

• Improve detection of bad .torrent metadata.

• Per-torrent transfer limits.

Long term goals

• Net::BitTorrent::Notes - Description of N::B's internals

  • Data layout

  • Behavior

• improve file handling

  • large torrents (> 4G) typically require 64bit math

  • .piece file to store incoming blocks

• scripts/gui-client.pl?

  • very light gui example using Wx

• Internal bans for 'bad' peers

  • Penalty (and eventual ban) for peers who always seem involved with bad pieces

• UDP trackers

• Fast Peers

  Partial support currently

Duke Nukem: Forever

• Wire protocol encryption

• PoCo::BitTorrent

  Not to be confused with the other PoCo::BitTorrent
