Summary     : A C++ BitTorrent library aiming to be the best alternative
Description :
rb_libtorrent is a C++ library that aims to be a good alternative to all
the other BitTorrent implementations around. It is a library and not a full
featured client, although it comes with a few working example clients.

Its main goals are to be very efficient (in terms of CPU and memory usage) as
well as being very easy to use both as a user and developer.

Update Information:

This release adds an upstream patch to fix a directory traversal vulnerability
which would allow a remote attacker to create or overwrite arbitrary files via a
".." (dot dot) and partial relative pathname in a specially-crafted torrent.
