Project Name
BirdTorrent -- Torrent support for Songbird!
Project Description
The goal of this project is to create an add-on that allows Songbird to handle .torrent files. The basic idea is to cut out the middle man, allowing users to download music from torrent sites directly to their library.
Project Leader(s)
Anthony Hughes [ashughes] - This is me!
Project Contributor(s)
AaronMT, johpan, ezadkiel, Sid - Provided test results for 0.1pre
Want to help out?
I have tested my 0.1pre on Ubuntu 8.04 32-bit and Mac OS X 10.5.5 i686.
It would be helpful to get results from other people using Mac and other Linux distros.
Please click HERE to help test Birdtorrent 0.1pre.
NOTE: I will be canvasing for Windows testers in the upcoming days. Stay tuned.
This contribution opportunity is over since I am no longer using a static library.
Survey - I need to know what torrent sites people use the most for the upcoming 0.2 release. Please vote.
Server - I need a torrent server set up in CDOT and populated with some test data. This will be used to both test and demonstrate while on the school network.
Big thanks to Jatinder for attempting to get this working in CDOT. After running into considerable technical difficulties, I was able to set up a tracker with seeding locally on my laptop. This will be used for demos as an alternative to the CDOT server.
