client_test example program
|
||
|
|
===========================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Client test is a, more or less, complete bittorrent client. It lacks most
|
||
|
|
settings and you can't start or stop torrents once you've started it. All
|
||
|
|
the settings are hardcoded. The commandline arguments are::
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
client_test <filename1.torrent> <filename2.torrent> ...
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can start any number of torrent downloads/seeds via the commandline.
|
||
|
|
If one argument starts with ``http://`` it is interpreted as a tracker
|
||
|
|
announce url, and it expects an info-hash as the next argument. The info-hash
|
||
|
|
has to be hex-encoded. For example: ``2410d4554d5ed856d69f426c38791673c59f4418``.
|
||
|
|
If you pass an announce url and info-hash, a torrent-less download is started.
|
||
|
|
It relies on that at least one peer on the tracker is running a libtorrent based
|
||
|
|
client and has the metadata (.torrent file). The metadata extension in
|
||
|
|
libtorrent will then download it from that peer (or from those peers if more
|
||
|
|
than one).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
While running, the ``client_test`` sample will look something like this:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The commands available in the client are:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* ``q`` quits the client (there will be a delay while the client waits
|
||
|
|
for tracker responses)
|
||
|
|
* ``l`` toggle log. Will display the log at the bottom, informing about
|
||
|
|
tracker and peer events.
|
||
|
|
* ``i`` toggles torrent info. Will show the peer list for each torrent.
|
||
|
|
* ``d`` toggle download info. Will show the block list for each torrent,
|
||
|
|
showing downloaded and requested blocks.
|
||
|
|
* ``p`` pause all torrents.
|
||
|
|
* ``u`` unpause all torrents.
|
||
|
|
* ``r`` force tracker reannounce for all torrents.
|
||
|
|
* ``f`` toggle show file progress. Displays a list of all files and the
|
||
|
|
download progress for each file.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The list at the bottom (shown if you press ``d``) shows which blocks has
|
||
|
|
been requested from which peer. The green background means that it has been
|
||
|
|
downloaded. It shows that fast peers will prefer to request whole pieces
|
||
|
|
instead of dowloading parts of pieces. It may make it easier to determine
|
||
|
|
which peer that sent the corrupt data if a piece fails the hash test.
