Overview

jTorrent is a simple Tor network simulation client and server written in Java. This client allows users to download and share files using the TCP protocol, which is a peer-to-peer file sharing protocol. The Tracker (which acts as a mediator between the peers) keeps track of files in network and peers who are still connected.

Features

• Multi-protocol Support: TCP for file sharing and UDP for tracking.
• Concurrent Connections: Allows many peers to be connected in the network at the same time.
• (WIP) File Verification: Verifies the integrity of downloaded files using SHA-1 hashes.
• Peer Management: Manages connections to multiple peers efficiently via Tracker.
• Cross-Platform: Runs on any platform with Java support.

Requirements

• Java Development Kit (JDK) Latest Release
• Gradle (for dependency management and build)
