Announcing Vincenzo, a BitTorrent client for the terminal

197 points Early-Twist8423

I have finally released the first version of my bittorrent client!

The scope of this client is simple, however, I believe it is already usable for production.

This client runs on the terminal, it has vim-like keybindings and a clean UI. There is an OS thread just for doing async I/O, support for magnet links, multiple torrents, pausing/resuming torrents, and a good download rate.

It is also multi-platform, I tested on my Linux machine and it worked nicely most of the times, I have tests for Windows and MacOS too so they should be working as well.

It's the first release, so there are lots of optimizations to be made, and issues and bugs are to be expected :)
