NAME

Aversa (Ruby BitTorrent tools front end)

How to use this program

• On console prompt:

  > ./aversa download foo.torrent

• In your script:

  require ‘aversa’ Aversa.main(‘download’, ‘foo.torrent’)

  # or call the method directly without going thru optparser: Aversa.download(‘foo.torrent’)

# Design_Notes # # The idea from Pike, Python - if we define a module/main function then # it is easy to use the program from other ruby scripts.

More examples

# Until some day wget supports bittorrent protocol …

  > aversa dl http://example.com/foo.torrent

NOTES (For developers)

 This program WILL NOT contain any logic codes.
 It is this program's role to be the front end component for other tools.

 e.g. rename: It may be one-liner:

   def rename(metainfo_file, new_name)
     MetaInfo.new(file){ |m| m['info']['name'] = new_name }.save(file)
   end

 But should not write logic codes in this program,
 It should be separated for maintenance.

TODO list
