About the bit-torrent protocol support, I asked about yesterday, I would like to ask again if it will be added to Transfers as part of its features as Download Manager or will it again be implemented as D-Bus interface in existing bit-torrent clients with notification in Transfers. For former, I couldn't find any good bit-torrent libraries based on C ( only http://sourceforge.net/projects/libbt/ which again is outdated). I found some good C++ based libraries, particularly libtorrent<http://www.rasterbar.com/products/libtorrent/>which has lot features and is still being developed.
Could I also know who will be the mentor(s) for this project? On Wed, Apr 10, 2013 at 9:37 PM, M.S.
