synapse
Synapse is a flexible and fast BitTorrent daemon.
It currently supports most systems which implement epoll or kqueue, with a focus on 64-bit linux servers.
About
- Event based RPC using websockets
- HTTP downloads and TLS for easy server usage
- Can be used via web client with minimal setup - see receptor

A list of packages can be found on this wiki page.
Compiling
Install dependencies:
- rustc >= 1.21
- cargo >= 0.18
- OpenSSL >= 1.0.2

- gcc | clang
Synapse and sycli can be installed with:
cargo build --release --all
cargo install
cargo install --path ./sycli/
If you'd just like to install sycli:
cargo build --release -p sycli
cargo install --path ./sycli/
Configuration
Synapse expects its configuration file to be present at $XDG_CONFIG_DIR/synapse.toml,
or ~/.config/synapse.toml.
If it is not present or invalid, a default configuration will be used.
These defaults are given in example_config.toml.
Sycli can be configured in a similar manner, using sycli.toml.
Development
Please see this issue for details on development status.
If you're interested in developing a client for synapse, see doc/RPC for the current RPC spec.
