libTorrent
LibTorrent is a BitTorrent library written in C++ for Unix. It is designed to avoid the redundant buffers and data copying that most (all?) other BitTorrent implementations suffer from. The library is single-threaded and the client handles the select loop. An interactive ncurses client is included as an example.

Recent commentsinteresting product with ugly dependency
libtorrent is an interestingly crafted product with an unfortunate dependency on sigc++, an add on signals/slots library used in the GNOME world. trying to build & use this project might end in tears.
