BUGS/TODO

  • Does not support UDP or HTTPS trackers.

  • While we don't hammer the trackers, the current version of this module does not comply with the current draft of the Multitracker Metadata Extension specification's order of processing.

    See also: http://www.bittorrent.org/beps/bep_0012.html

  • We do not send stop and complete announcements when required. This is actually a Net::BitTorrent::Session and Net::BitTorrent::Session::Peer bug.
