Is this Windows-only? If not, what's the UI outside Windows?

viktorelofssonOP10y ago

Yes, that's a good suggestion. The readme is due for a rewrite so I'll make sure to mention that somewhere up top!

EDIT: the parent post was edited, and this comment was written for the original post.

Sorry about that, I posted too fast and after seeing the linux directory reformulated it.

Basically I was suggesting to more prominently mention it's Windows-only and not just in the list of features.

There's a linux directory, what's that for?

It's been a few releases in the last 168 days when I announced PicoTorrent on HN and I'd like to get some input on both the progress as well as the new WebSocket API.

You can find the relevant API documentation at

I took a quick look to see if I could find this but does picotorrent have RSS support?

viktorelofssonOP10y ago

No, it does not, sorry. I've been asked this before and perhaps it's something I should prioritize :)

Is the 64bit check in CMakeLists correct?

I'm no CMake expert, but this looks odd:

https://github.com/picotorrent/picotorrent/blob/develop/CMak...

    # Get current architecture
    if(CMAKE_SIZEOF_VOID_P EQUAL 8)
        set(PICO_ARCH "x64" )
    else(CMAKE_SIZEOF_VOID_P EQUAL 8)
        set(PICO_ARCH "x86")
    endif(CMAKE_SIZEOF_VOID_P EQUAL 8)

EDIT: this is just CMake's very odd syntax and it's actually a single condition.

viktorelofssonOP10y ago

It should be correct - or at least, it works for what I use it for :)

What is odd about it?

cm310y ago

I don't know much about CMake, but to me the two conditions look the same, but maybe this is just how CMake magically works.

Never knew this existed. This could possibly replace qbittorrent for me on windows 10. Thanks for great work.
