Not really true - v0.20 of PicoTorrent [1] was released with BitTorrent v2 support on the same day as libtorrent released support for v2 torrents. I think this predates BiglyBT 2.5…

BitTorrent v2 has been officially supported in PicoTorrent since the same date as the featured blog post from libtorrent :)

Of course I can :) Thanks for pointing it out!

Hello HN! Today we officially launch our first SaaS - Shellhook, a service to turn any shell command into a HTTP API. We've been working on it on late nights and weekends for almos…

That's really valuable, thank you!

I'm using wxWidgets, so it's the Win32 API at the lowest layer. For accessibility I want to make it support the NVDA screen reader which I think would make it support other readers…

There are two libraries called libtorrent - Rasterbar-libtorrent (the one in this discussion, made by arvidn) and rakshasa-libtorrent (made by rakshasa).

If you want to try a client with v2 (and v1+v2 hybrid) support, I've just released PicoTorrent v0.20 [0] based on Rasterbar-libtorrent 2.0 :) [0] https://github.com/picotorrent/pic…

Thanks for the information! It's given me a positive outlook on a second trial for the Win32 API stuff :)

Sure! Two examples where the Win32 API and/or my knowledge of it falls short, * Layout management. There's no "easy" way of managing dialog layouts (letting controls expand/shrink …

(Author here) I haven't listed the specific features from Rasterbar-libtorrent but I'll make sure to do that in an upcoming update, to make it clearer. It supports DHT, PeX and LSD…

Author here - the readme is a bit outdated, sorry about that :) wxWidgets is a hard dependency since a few versions back.

Hi! Author here. The name has been with us since the beginning, and the first few versions were actually quite small. Since then, features and other things have made things grow (m…

Hi HN! I've been working with ElasticSearch the last few days and got tired of elasticdump being slow when dumping data to disk, so I wrote Blaze. It dumps indexes to disk fast. It…

Hi HN! Author here. I've been working on this BitTorrent client for a while now and would like some feedback! It's a Node.js based BitTorrent client aimed at technical users lookin…

Shameless self promotion: I did something similar a while back, available at https://cryptob.in Haven’t had the time to publish the sources, but I didn’t obfuscate the JS (where al…

I took your advice from the other comment and started using TweetNaCl.js which had some pretty good endorsements :) I’ll definitely check out some more sources on crypto in general…

Thanks! It’s mostly Bootstrap so I shouldn’t really take credit :) Have a look at https://github.com/picotorrent/picotorrent for one of the more popular projects I run!

Yes, that would probably make sense for the browsers that supports it. Which seems to be mostly everyone except IE. It will be fixed in the next update!

I've implemented all points that @tptacek mentioned (except the web extension, that will be a future update), and will also activate HSTS when I feel comfortable with the server se…

Also - regarding your second #1, are we talking about something like a Chrome extension?

Thanks for the feedback! I will definitely address your points, and I really appreciate the constructive criticism :)
