jlouis/etorrent

This system is an Erlang-based BitTorrent client named etorrent, designed to handle peer-to-peer file sharing through seeding, leeching, and tracker interactions. It provides a complete runtime environment with configuration management and a control script for process management. The project includes comprehensive tooling for building, testing against external clients like Transmission, and visualizing the internal module dependencies.

A new escript-based tool has been added to the 'tools' directory to generate a visual dependency graph for the etorrent project. The script uses Erlang's xref to analyze module calls and outputs a Graphviz digraph, including support for clustering specific modules (such as torrent, DHT, and peer components) to improve readability of the dependency visualization.

A new shell script, etorrentctl, has been added to the bin directory to provide a unified interface for starting, stopping, and debugging the etorrent service. The script supports start, debug, and general control commands, allowing users to manage the Erlang-based torrent client process more easily. Additionally, a .gitignore file was added to the bin directory to exclude the generated etorrentctl script from version control.

Added a new Makefile to automate the generation of the supervisor tree diagram from a Graphviz DOT source file. Added the DOT source file (sup\_tree\_20110106.m4) and the corresponding PNG and PDF outputs. Added documentation for configuration options (configuration\_options.txt), fast resume support (fast\_resume.txt), dynamic socket handling (dynamic\_sockets.txt), and a Git workflow guide (git.md). Also added a LaTeX document (documentation.tex) detailing the client's requirements, analysis of piece handling, and filesystem interaction strategies.

documentation · high confidence

The project now includes comprehensive documentation files (HACKING.md, README.md, TEST.md, INSTALL) and a coding conventions guide (WW3.md). Build and release configurations have been added for relx (relx.config, relx-dev.config) and a Makefile for the build system. Test infrastructure is established with a Travis CI configuration (.travis.yml), a Common Test specification file (etorrent\_test.spec), and a test configuration file (etorrent\_test.cfg). Additionally, a .gitignore file and an AUTHORS file have been added to the repository.

The rel directory now contains the complete set of files required to build and run the etorrent release, including dev.config, dev.sys.config, release.config, sys.config, vm.args, and reltool.config. These files define the runtime configuration (ports, DHT, PEX, WebUI, logging), the release structure (including gproc, cascadae, and etorrent\_core), and the build process using relx/reltool, enabling users to generate and run the etorrent application.

rel · high confidence

Added a new Common Test suite (etorrent\_SUITE.erl) that exercises etorrent's seeding and leeching capabilities against both internal nodes and the external Transmission client. The suite includes test cases for standard seeding/leeching, UDP tracker interactions, choked peer rejection, and partial downloading. It also introduces integration tests that coordinate with the Transmission CLI to verify cross-client compatibility, using helper scripts and a Transmission settings configuration to manage the external process lifecycle during tests.
