NAME

Net::BitTorrent::Todo - TODO list for Perl module Net::BitTorrent

High priorities

• Define the direction the project will take in the future

Short term goals

• Complete test suite

• Improve detection of bad .torrent metadata.

• Improve handling of slow pieces

• Per-session transfer limits

Long term goals

• Net::BitTorrent::Notes - Description of N::B's internals

  • Data layout

  • Behavior

  • Shortfalls

• improve file handling

  • large torrents (> 4G) typically require 64bit math

  • .piece file to store incoming blocks

• Wire protocol encryption (?)

• IP-filter

  • Not internal. A callback, perhaps.

• scripts/gui-client.pl?

  • very light gui example using perl/TK

• Internal bans for 'bad' peers

  • Penalty (and eventual ban) for peers who always seem involved with bad pieces

• Full Multi-tracker spec compliance

• PoCo::BitTorrent

  • Not to be confused with the other PoCo::BitTorrent

• Params::Validate?

• DHT/PEX

• UDP trackers

• Fast Peers

Duke Nukem: Forever

• perlcritic severity=stern

• non-blocking hash_check()

  • This is actually possible now with a bit of work.

• N::B::Lite - bare bones client (nowhere near ::Tiny)

  • Single class

  • No extensions

  • Trimmed API
