The latest version of Halite Torrent Client 0.3 was released. Halite Torrent is an alternative bittorrent client to bypass traffic shaping.

Halite (named after the mineral) is a C++ BitTorrent client based on the excellent libtorrent library from Rasterbar Software. The program also relies heavily on the Boost libraries.

Key Features

The current Halite release is v 0.3. While still at an early state of development Halite is a functional BitTorrent client. So far its list of features is pretty standard but that is because I want to ensure it does the basic stuff well. That said it supports:

* File selection and/or file priority specifications.
* Trackerless torrents (using the Mainline kademlia DHT protocol).
* IP filtering with eMule style ipfilter.dat import.
* Protocol Encryption support.
* Translations of the UI into a number of languages through the help of volunteers.
(if you wish to help with a translation then please do)
* Minimize to tray with transfer rate summary.
* Full Unicode support through UTF-8 and native Windows wide-char strings.
* Login support where tracker requires it.
* Ability to edit trackers specified in the torrent.
* Transfer rate and connection limits both global and per-torrent.
