i'm not publishing too much updates on joal as of now.
I'm actively working on the new version :), i'm rewriting (from scratch) joal in another language (golang). Mainly for performance purpose, but also because i've learned a lot along the way and i now feel like i can do much better than the actual JOAL (which i consider completly safe, dont get me wrong).
I don't really know how mRatio and other tools works internaly, but i expect the new version to be much more extenssible and much safer.
Along with the performance and security improvements some cool features are to be expected:
- Support for torrents with multi-tier/multi-tracker and ability to mimic every variant of them (announce to all or fallback)
- Built-in proxy support.
- Joal will answer to the bittorrent network clients by chocking them all. (basically says "i'm busy already" to everyone).
- Webui will be less resource consuming
- No more need for the JVM (Java Virtual Machine) as Go provide native binary for all plateforms (one of the performance improvements).
- No need to setup the environment with config file and folder structure anymore, joal will work out of the box and automatically down or create whats needed to run in "default" mode.
