Features:
While still at an early state of development Halite is a functional
BitTorrent client. So far its list of features is pretty standard but
that is because I want to ensure it does the basic stuff well.
That said, it supports:
+ Multiple downloads.
+ Displays more detailed information for the selected torrent.
+ Connection limits both global and per-torrent.
+ Transfer rate limits again global and per-torrent.
+ Minimize to tray with transfer rate summary.
+ Trackerless torrents (using the Mainline kademlia DHT protocol).
+ IP filtering with eMule ipfilter.dat import.
+ Association with ".torrent" files.
+ Option to limit the number of instances to one.
+ Estimated time remaining indicator.
+ Full Unicode support through UTF-8 and native Windows wide-char strings.
+ Login support where tracker requires it.
+ Ability to edit trackers specified in the torrent.
Changelog:
- from v 0.2.8 to 0.2.9:
1) Full Unicode support!
2) Rewitten XML fileformat with greatly improved robustness.
3) New tabbed interface makes better use of screen real estate.
4) Ability to edit Trackers and set login details.
5) Comprehensive logging for diagnosing problems.
6) Windows 2000 and Server 2003 supported fully.
7) Updated to recent versions of Boost and libtorrent.
8) Numerous bug fixes.
9) Switched to MSVC 2005 compiler (8.0) for improved reliability
though at the cost of slightly bigger executables.
- from v 0.2.7 to 0.2.8:
1) IP filtering support eMule style ipfilter.dat files.
2) DHT support, thought it is turned off by default.
3) Can select alternate save directory for torrents..
4) New icon!
- from v 0.2.6 to 0.2.7:
1) By default Halite will only allow one instance to be launched
2) Halite can be set as the default program for '.torrent' files.
3) ETA indicator for torrents. 4) Minor GUI tweaks.
- from v 0.2.5 to 0.2.6:
1) Fixed a silly bug (i.e. I should have caught it sooner) whereby exiting Halite from the tray would screw up the window layout next time running it.
2) Added auto-selection to Torrents list to make it more intuitive.
- from v 0.2 to 0.2.5:
1) The GUI is slightly altered so that it looks consistent and neat for a number of visual styles which I was able to test it on.
2) The ability to drag and drop torrent files into the app has been added.
3) It will minimize to the tray instead of task bar and hovering mouse for the tray icon displays the current up and down rate.
4) Where previously the various limits boxes didn't validate properly now they do and any invalid input is interpreted as no limit and a nice infinity symbol is displayed.
5) Individual torrent info is saved and loaded when the program is closed and reopened allowing torrent limits to be remembered.
6) If the program has to wait after the user clicking close for any active connections to shutdown down 'cleanly' an optional small dialog is displayed to alert the user that the program is still running.
