The Social BitTorrent Peer to Peer Client

Torrent Swapper is an open sourced sociable peer to peer file-sharing client based on the Bittorrent protocol that is ideal for high-speed distribution of large files that has a basic understanding of human friendships, of user tastes in content, and of Internet connectivity between users. Torrent Swapper supports simultaneous downloads, download queue, selected downloads in torrent package, fast-resume, disk cache, speed limits, port mapping, proxy, ip-filter, etc.

Social Benefit

The main idea of P2P technology is that users pool resources together and create a social service. Because users donate resources, there is no cost to the content distribution infrastructure. In the UK, the BBC a file-sharing system for TV program downloads. The largest encyclopedia on earth, Wikipedia was solely created by volunteers without authoritative, central editors. The Skype VOIP telephony software uses P2P to reduce the cost of Internet telephony and became a market leader in just a few months. P2P is now the "killer app" of the Internet.

Unfortunately, P2P is mainly used for the illegal spreading of intellectual property. We believe that P2P is the future of content distribution and will mature from the current "wild west" into a respectable business solution. For example, Pual Geller and Lurence Lessig are arguing for P2P as means for spreading specialized content to a small group of audience, such as video recordings of local concerts, soccer matches, and city council meetings that with advent of P2P have suddenly became feasible due to the low cost of using P2P over the Internet.

With Torrent Swapper, we are creating software for sharing large files that has a basic understanding of human friendships, of user tastes in content, and of Internet connectivity between users.
