  Description     : Fast and small BitTorrent Client program written in C/C++

(Include the long description here.)

CTorrent is a BitTorrent client written in the C programming language,
known to be a very robust and mature programming language, which
produces fast and optimized applications. There are compilers for most
operating systems, making programs written in C easy to port. It
currently runs on most Linux variants, MacOS and FreeBSD, but it
hopefully run on Windows aswell! CTorrent is built as a console
program, which means that it doesn't require any graphical components
(such as an X server) on the machine you are running it on, you can
even run it remotely through a terminal if you wish. While a lot of
people prefer a GUI (Graphical User Interface) for this kind of
applications, there are quite a few people who run "console only"
servers and want to use them to download files in the
background. CTorrent can help you do exactly this, assuming you are
downloading from the BitTorrent network.
