Re: [gnome-love] Implementing idea for GSoC 2013 - Transfers App

["M.S. Suraj" <mssurajkaiga gmail com>]

About the bit-torrent protocol support, I asked about yesterday, I would like to ask again if it will be added to Transfers as part of its features as Download Manager or will it again be implemented as D-Bus interface in existing bit-torrent clients with notification in Transfers. For former, I couldn't find any good bit-torrent libraries based on C ( only http://sourceforge.net/projects/libbt/ which again is outdated). I found some good C++ based libraries, particularly libtorrent which has lot features and is still being developed.

Could I also know who will be the mentor(s) for this project?

Thank you very much Emmanuele and Abhinav for your opinions.

I personally haven't worked with either APIs, so I don't have a preference of my own. But based on the information I could gather from forums and friends, I think it would be better to use LibSoup.
Also, as Emmanuele pointed out, Transfers is a GNOME application so it would be better to use GNOME API.

no, libcurl is an awful API.

GNOME applications should be using the GNOME stack — in this case, GIO
and libsoup.
