About:
libtorrent-rakshasa is a high-performance C++ BitTorrent library designed for efficiency and scalability. It provides a robust core for building custom torrent clients and server applications, featuring non-blocking I/O and detailed control over peer communications. Its primary value is delivering maximum throughput and low resource usage for demanding BitTorrent operations.
Key Features:
  • High-performance non-blocking I/O
  • Extensive protocol and DHT support
  • Flexible API for custom client development
  • Optimized for low memory overhead
Use Cases:
  • Building high-performance BitTorrent clients
  • Integrating P2P file sharing into applications
  • Creating dedicated torrent seedboxes
Alternatives:
  • libtorrent (Rasterbar) – More widely used with Python bindings, but rakshasa version is often preferred for raw performance and specific client implementations like rTorrent.
  • Transmission – A full-featured client application rather than a library, suitable for users but not for developers building custom P2P software.
