Request: Bitorrent

This would be a great idea, all you would have to do is FTP the .torrent file to your xbox and then download it on your Xbox rather than having a slow pc!

I'm sure the source code is available for BT... anyone up for this?

i don't think you understand what he is saying, he is saying try the python script for xbmc, that means it works, run it through xbmc.  <

Any pointers anyone?

Ok, thanks for the help so far. I have now copied the files into "scripts" in XBMC, when i go onto my xbox, open XBMC, click 'general' then click on the bit torrent script, it says 'select a torrent' and it does not let me choose one ! It's just a blank screen. Any ideas?  sad.gif

Ok, that's it, I give up :P

Seriously, I think it would be a good idea for someone to properly port this as it would be easier than all these 'scripts'

Thanks.

 you cant simply "port" something written in another language, and I dont see anyone taking the time to write a bit torrent client for the xbox.

There is already a client that's written in c here http://ctorrent.sourceforge.net/ already exists.  I imagine that it wouldn't be *too* difficult for someone brainy to recompile for xbox and add a gui.

I believe someone's already compiled it & is set to release it. :unsure:

Problem is, they aren't very brainy. :lol:
