The goal if this project is to create an implementation of the file sharing API provided by the Eclipse Communication Framework using the BitTorrent protocol.

BitTorrent Data Model
org.eclipse.bittorrent
- Host
The Host class reads in a Torrent and begins connecting to peers to upload and download pieces.
- Torrent
A Torrent is a representation of the metainfo stored within a .torrent file, it is capable of performing a hash check against a file or directory to see whether the download has completed or not.
org.eclipse.bittorrent.internal.encode
- BEecodedDictionary
A BEncodedDictionary holds the key-value pairs stored within a bencoded string.
- Decode
The Decode class performs decoding tasks such as interpreting the contents of a torrent file or reading bits within a byte to determine what pieces a specific peer has completed.
- Encode
Encode converts or alters information by using algorithms or shifting bits.
org.eclipse.bittorrent.internal.net
- ConnectionPool
The ConnectionPool class is a thread pool that manages a number of ConnectionThreads, this number can be altered but is not recommended as excessive connections can cause major network congestions.
- ConnectionThread
A ConnectionThread manages one PeerConnection to read and write to the socket that has been opened to a peer.
- PeerConnection
A PeerConnection uses a SocketChannel to talk to one of the peers retrieved from the tracker, it handles all protocol-related information such as choking and unchoking the peer and reading in the blocks of data for a piece.
