I have searched the forums and have not heard any talk of a BitTorrent Client sence the port to linux.
I know on the xbox a bittorent client was not possible as it was way to slow.
Would any of the devs be apposed to adding a very light weight bit torrent client to xbmc live?
I know there are python clients out there but i just havent had any luck getting them to work with spyce. Also my python skills are very limited.
It would really be nice to be able to add torrent:// support to xbmc to allow for python scripts to be able to pass torrents to.
Mabee a better idea is to not have the client integrated with xbmc at all but have it running as a deamon process and use a python script to comunicate RPC to give torrent status in a the xbmc gui. This guy has a good example of it:http://www.dennis-kempin.de/python/conce...rrent-api/
Now that i think about it This may be the better way to go.
Eather way transition torrent client would have to be included in the live package.
Any thoughts?
