Have you ever coded a torrent client?

I'm looking at the protocol spec right now. Seems pretty simple enough and straightforward.

I might give it a shot ;)

I coded a torrent parser (it just decoded torrent files), but not an entire client. I considered it once, but then they released Azureus.

eh, yeah Azureus rules.

Figured I'd give it a shot and write a minimal client. Just for the hell of it now that I have a little time off (and can get into something). Haven't done any coding "for fun" in ages :(

What lang did you write the parser in?

Figure I'll do this in Java just for some practice.

I forget, it was either perl or python.
