Jam is a simple BitTorrent client project developed in Rust. It is primarily intended for learning purposes and is still a work in progress. The client currently supports only minimal features, with various BitTorrent Extension Protocols (BEPs) yet to be implemented.
The following BitTorrent Extension Protocols (BEPs) are planned for implementation in future versions of this client:
- BEP 0005: DHT Protocol (Distributed Hash Table)
- BEP 0006: Fast Extension (Faster downloading)
- BEP 0009: Extension for Peers to Send Metadata Files
- BEP 0010: Extension Protocol
- BEP 0011: Peer Exchange (PEX)
- BEP 0012: Multitracker Metadata Extension
- BEP 0014: Local Service Discovery
- BEP 0015: UDP Tracker Protocol
- BEP 0019: HTTP/FTP Seeding (GetRight-style)
- BEP 0023: Tracker Returns Compact Peer Lists
- BEP 0027: Private Torrents
- BEP 0029: uTorrent Transport Protocol
- BEP 0055: Holepunch Extension
