Managing Torrents¶

Example 1 shows how to add a torrent to the engine and start the download
Example 2 shows how to hash check a torrent and show a progress indicator

Example 1¶

 1     class MainClass
 2     {
 3         ClientEngine engine;
 4         string savePath;
 5 
 6         // savePath is the directory where downloads will be stored
 7         public MainClass(string savePath)
 8         {
 9             // Create a basic ClientEngine without changing any settings
10             this.engine = new ClientEngine(new EngineSettings());
11             this.savePath = savePath;
12         }
13 
14         public void DownloadTorrent(string path)
15         {
16             // Open the .torrent file
17             Torrent torrent = Torrent.Load(path);
18 
19             // Create the manager which will download the torrent to savePath
20             // using the default settings.
21             TorrentManager manager = new TorrentManager(torrent, savePath, new TorrentSettings());
22 
23             // Register the manager with the engine
24             engine.Register(manager);
25 
26             // Begin the download
27             manager.Start();
28         }
29     }

Advanced Client¶

 1 
 2 ClientEngine engine = new ClientEngine(new EngineSettings(downloadsPath, port));
 3 
 4 //DHT
 5 DhtListener dhtListner = new UdpListener (new IPEndPoint (IPAddress.Any, port));
 6 DhtEngine dht = new DhtEngine (dhtListner);
 7 engine.RegisterDht(dht);
 8 dhtListner.Start();
 9 //byte array of dht nodes can be null if you have never connect to DHT before today!
10 engine.DhtEngine.Start(nodes);
11 
12 torrent = Torrent.Load("test.torrent");
13 TorrentManager manager = new TorrentManager(torrent, downloadsPath, torrentDefaults);
14 
15 //FastResume code need a BencodedDictionnary
16 //If you jsut start the torrent, you have no fast resume
17 // but if you have download a part of the torrent you can save fast resume data 
18 //(manager.SaveFastResume()) and restore it later to do a quicker load
19 manager.LoadFastResume(new FastResume (BEncDictFastResume));
20 
21 engine.Register(manager);
22 manager.Start ();
