Project Name

BirdTorrent -- Torrent support for Songbird!

Project Description

The goal of this project is to create an add-on that allows Songbird to handle .torrent files. The basic idea is to cut out the middle man, allowing users to download music from torrent sites directly to their library.

Project Details

0.1 Milestone

The goal of this milestone is to get libtorrent compiled as a static library and be able to wrap it into an XPCOM component. To demonstrate the proof of this working, I plan to inject a simple HelloWorld alert statement into one of the libtorrent functions.

Expected Release Date: Oct 17, 2008

Tasks

  • Compile Libtorrent as a static library
  • Compile Songbird's XPCOM HelloWorld Addon
  • Research Make for how to wrap libtorrent
