Tribler (Torrenting/Bittorrent Software)
Closed due to inactivityPublic

Description

Name: Tribler

Homepage: https://tribler.org

Why Should It Be Included?: While Tribler uses the BitTorrent protocol to download and upload files, and is fully compatible with most BitTorrent clients, it adds a number of important extensions: Fully integrated content search; Support for Merkle hashes; An overlay swarm for communication between (Tribler) peers; The ability to cooperatively download. In short Tribler is the evolution of P2P technology building on but also going beyond the successful BitTorrent protocol. Tribler offers built-in tor-like encryption so that VPNs are no longer necessary for torrent downloading/uploading.

Is It Open Source?: Yes

How Many Users?: Their Specification of Tribler Anonymity page estimate that over a million users will use the software.

Source Tarball: https://github.com/Tribler/tribler (Under "Releases" are versioned tarballs.)

This has sat in accepted for inclusion for over a year now. Clearly, there is a lack of demand for the inclusion of this software, nobody has stepped up to provide a patch, maintain it, and properly integrate it. Closing as a result. Feel free to reopen but only when someone offers a patch via our proper patch submission methods and volunteers to be maintainer.

Too bad, this seems like a really interesting application. However, it seems there are plans for a snap release I'll hope that happens.
