Snark is a client for downloading and sharing files distributed with the
|
|
BitTorrent protocol. It is mainly used for exploring the BitTorrent protocol
|
|
and experimenting with the the GNU Compiler for Java (gcj). But it can also
|
|
be used as a regular BitTorrent Client.
|
|
|
|
Snark can also act as a torrent creator, micro http server for delivering
|
|
metainfo.torrent files and has an integrated Tracker for making sharing of
|
|
files as easy as possible.
|
|
|
|
When given the option --share Snark will automatically create a .torrent
|
|
file, start a very simple webserver to distribute the metainfo.torrent file
|
|
and a local tracker that other BitTorrent clients can connect to.
