SimpleTorrentUWP

An in-progress fork of Rebirth\SimpleTorrent lib with fixes for UWP

Current issues:

• Timeout exception when connecting to TCPClient with any torrent

Changes:

• Added use of StorageFile to allow access to files instead of hard paths
• Namespace change

Example Usage:

using SimpleTorrentUWP.Torrent
public sealed partial class MainPage : Page
   {
       public static Client TorrentClient;

       public MainPage()
       {
           this.InitializeComponent();
   	// Open torrent file
           FileOpenPicker torrentFile = new FileOpenPicker();
           torrentFile.ViewMode = PickerViewMode.List;
           torrentFile.SuggestedStartLocation = PickerLocationId.Downloads;
           torrentFile.FileTypeFilter.Add(".torrent");

           StorageFile torrent = await torrentFile.PickSingleFileAsync();
           if (torrent == null)
           {
               return;
           }
           else
           {
        //Select download folder
               FolderPicker saveFolder = new FolderPicker();
               saveFolder.SuggestedStartLocation = PickerLocationId.Downloads;
               saveFolder.FileTypeFilter.Add(".");
               StorageFolder DownloadFolder = await saveFolder.PickSingleFolderAsync();
               if (DownloadFolder == null)
               {
                   return;
               }
               else
               {
         // Start the client/download
                   TorrentClient = new Client(6881, torrent.Path, DownloadFolder.Path);
                   await TorrentClient.loadTorrent(torrent, DownloadFolder.Path);
                   TorrentClient.Start();
               }
            }
   	}
}
