The library differentiates itself from other implementations by transferring directly from file pages to the network stack.\n\n\nTo learn how to use libtorrent visit the [Wiki](https://github.com/rakshasa/libtorrent/wiki).\n\nRelated Projects\n----------------\n\n* [https://github.com/rakshasa/rbedit](https://github.com/rakshasa/rbedit): A dependency-free bencode editor.\n* [https://github.com/rakshasa/rtorrent](https://github.com/rakshasa/rtorrent): high performance ncurses based torrent client\n\n\n\nDonate to rTorrent development\n------------------------------\n\n* [Paypal](https://paypal.me/jarisundellno)\n* [Patreon](https://www.patreon.com/rtorrent)\n* [SubscribeStar](https://www.subscribestar.com/rtorrent)\n* Bitcoin: 1MpmXm5AHtdBoDaLZstJw8nupJJaeKu8V8\n* Ethereum: 0x9AB1e3C3d8a875e870f161b3e9287Db0E6DAfF78\n* Litecoin: LdyaVR67LBnTf6mAT4QJnjSG2Zk67qxmfQ\n* Cardano: addr1qytaslmqmk6dspltw06sp0zf83dh09u79j49ceh5y26zdcccgq4ph7nmx6kgmzeldauj43254ey97f3x4xw49d86aguqwfhlte\n\n\nHelp keep rTorrent development going by donating to its creator.\n\nBUILD DEPENDENCIES\n--------\nUbuntu, for example\n```\nsudo apt install make curl-libcurlpp-dev autoconf\n```\n\nBUILDING\n--------\n\nJump into the github cloned directory\n\n```\ncd libtorrent\n```\n\nCreate config files\n```\nautoreconf -ivf\n```\n\nPerform configuration\n```\n./configure\n```\n\nCompile, slowest option.\n```\nmake\n```\n\nOR Optionally compile with multiple worker threads, optimal number of threads is number of cores -1 for fastest compile time. For example : a 4 core machine should compile with only 3 cores, an 8-core machine 7, etc.)  \n```\nmake -j7\n```\n\nInstall\n```\nmake install\n```\n\n",
