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.
Contents
BitTorrent Plug-in Data Model
The package name org.eclipse.bittorrent may be altered when the plug-in is released.
Text in red denotes that the code has not been written yet.
org.eclipse.bittorrent
Host - reads in a Torrent and connects to peers to begin seeding or downloading
- contains exactly one Torrent
- contains one or more DataFiles
- contains one or more Pieces
Torrent - a representation of the metainfo stored within a .torrent file
ITorrentErrorListener - watches for errors caused by trackers or failed hash checks
ITorrentStateListener - reports what state the download is in right now, such as whether it is 'downloading' or 'completed'
ITorrentProgressListener - monitors how far the download has gone
IPieceProgressListener - monitors the download progress of a particular piece
org.eclipse.bittorrent.internal.torrent
DataFile - a representation of a file on the user's system for read/write operations
- contains one or more Pieces
Piece - a piece of data that is needed to complete a download
- contains one or more DataFiles
org.eclipse.bittorrent.internal.net
ConnectionPool - a thread pool that manages ConnectionThreads
- contains exactly one Host
- contains one or more ConnectionThreads
ConnectionThread - creates a PeerConnection to talk to a peer
- contains exactly one PeerConnection
PeerConnection - connects to a peer and exchanges information
- exactly one Host
org.eclipse.bittorrent.internal.encode
BEncodedDictionary - holds the key-value pairs stored within a bencoded string.
Decode - decodes information such as the contents of a torrent file
Encode - converts or alters information for use
Plug-in Usage
This section will describe how a developer would create a client using the BitTorrent plug-in.
Use Cases
- - downloads a single file from a torrent until completion
- - begin downloading a single file from a torrent and pause the download after a period of time
- - resume the download
- - cancel the download and delete the downloaded files
- - start two downloads from two torrents until completion
- - begin two downloads from two torrent and then pause the second one after a period of time
- - resume the second download after the first has completed
- - cancel the first download and start the second download
- - begin downloading from a torrent and monitor its progress with a listener
- - LATER start downloading multiple files from a torrent and select which files should be downloaded
- - LATER begin downloading a file from a torrent and cap the download/upload speeds
- - LATER start a download from a torrent and alter the number of connections that can be made
The use cases listed below makes use of an implementation of the ITorrentStateListener interface. All references to stateListener can be referred back to the implementation provided below.
ITorrentStateListener stateListener = new ITorrentStateListener() { public void stateChanged(int state) { switch (state) { case ITorrentStateListener.STARTED: System.out.println("The torrent set-up is starting..."); break; case ITorrentStateListener.DOWNLOADING: System.out.println("The downloading has begun..."); break; case ITorrentStateListener.PAUSED: System.out.println("The downloading has been paused..."); break; case ITorrentStateListener.FINISHED: System.out.println("The download is now complete..."); break; } } };
Use Case 1 - download a torrent's contents to completion
Torrent torrent = new Torrent(new FileInputStream("eclipse-sdk.torrent")); Host host = new Host(torrent); host.start(stateListener);
Use Case 2 - stop the download after a period of time
Torrent torrent = new Torrent(new FileInputStream("eclipse-sdk.torrent")); Host host = new Host(torrent); host.start(stateListener); // after some amount of time has passed host.stop();
Use Case 2.1 - resume downloading a torrent after pausing it for a period of time
Torrent torrent = new Torrent(new FileInputStream("eclipse-sdk.torrent")); Host host = new Host(torrent); host.start(stateListener); // after some amount of time has passed host.pause(); // more time passes host.resume();
Use Case 2.2 - start a download and then stop it and remove all downloaded files
Torrent torrent = new Torrent(new FileInputStream("eclipse-sdk.torrent")); Host host = new Host(torrent); host.start(stateListener); // after some amount of time has passed host.stop(); host.remove();
Use Case 3 - begin downloading from two different torrents until completion
Torrent torrent01 = new Torrent(new FileInputStream("eclipse-sdk.torrent"); Host host01 = new Host(torrent01); host.start(stateListener); Torrent torrent02 = new Torrent(new FileInputStream("eclipse-ecf.torrent")); Host host02 = new Host(torrent02); host.start(stateListener);
Use Case 4 - start downloading two different torrents and pause one of them after a period of time
Torrent torrent01 = new Torrent(new FileInputStream("eclipse-sdk.torrent")); Host host01 = new Host(torrent01); host01.start(stateListener); Torrent torrent02 = new Torrent(new FileInputStream("eclipse-ecf.torrent")); Host host02 = new Host(torrent02); host02.start(stateListener); // some time passes host02.pause();
Use Case 4.1 - resume downloading the second torrent after the first has finished
Torrent torrent01 = new Torrent(new FileInputStream("eclipse-sdk.torrent")); Host host01 = new Host(torrent01); host01.start(stateListener); Torrent torrent02 = new Torrent(new FileInputStream("eclipse-ecf.torrent")); Host host02 = new Host(torrent02); host02.start(stateListener); // some time passes host02.pause(); while (!host01.isCompleted()); host02.resume();
Use Case 4.2 - cancel the first download and resume the second download
Torrent torrent01 = new Torrent(new FileInputStream("eclipse-sdk.torrent")); Host host01 = new Host(torrent01); host01.start(stateListener); Torrent torrent02 = new Torrent(new FileInputStream("eclipse-sdk.torrent")); Host host02 = new Host(torrent02); host02.start(stateListener); // some time passes host02.pause(); // more time passes host01.stop(); host02.resume();
Use Case 5 - begin downloading from a torrent and monitor its progress with a listener
Torrent torrent = new Torrent(new FileInputStream("eclipse-sdk.torrent")); Host host = new Host(torrent); host.addProgressListener(new ProgressListener() { public void progressEvent(ProgressEvent event) { System.out.println(event.getRemaining()); } });
