"bitBrave" project

It looks like it becomes a silly tradition to suspend older projects to be able to work on the new ones... This time I am talking about a "bitBrave" project. This will be a simple freeware or perhaps even open source bit torrent client for Windows platform. I am coding with C++, using wxWidgets framework (with wxDev-C++ IDE).

This is how the main window looks like:

Simple, isn't it?

You just have to put a *.torrent file in a specified directory and the next time you start bitBrave, the download starts automatically. As soon as download finishes, downloaded files appear in another default directory. That is all you need to know to be able to use it!

There are no customisation options, nothing you can change. Just turn it on and wait for data... The main aim is to create as simple and primitive client as it is possible.

Wait for more info in the near future...
