BitTorrent (B. Cohen's version)

The modified bittorrent tarball is currently under the MPIBlib repository:

svn co https://hcl.ucd.ie/repos/CPM/trunk/MPIBlib/tests/bittorrent/bittorrent.tar.gz

• Create a file of any size consisting of "s" characters only.
• Create torrent file:

 btmakemetafile myfile.ext http://<frontend on G5K>:6969/announce

• Stick the torrent file into $HOME/public at the frontend.
  • It is then available from within G5K under http://public.lille.grid5000.fr/~kdichev/{torrent file}
• Start the tracker on the frontend:

 bttrack --port 6969 --dfile dstate

• Start one client that has the full copy:

 btdownloadheadless.py --url http://my.server/myfile.torrent --saveas myfile.ext
