Halite is a BitTorrent client based on the libtorrent library from Rasterbar.com. The program is written in C++ relying on the Boost libraries and WTL. It is open sourced under the MIT and/or Boost software licence.

While still at an early state of development Halite is a functional BitTorrent client. So far its list of features is pretty standard but that is because I want to ensure it does the basic stuff well. That said it supports:

• File selection and/or file priority specifications.
• Disk cache support.
• Trackerless torrents (using the Mainline kademlia DHT protocol).
• IP filtering with eMule style ipfilter.dat import.
• Protocol Encryption support.
• Translations of the UI into a number of languages through the help of volunteers.
  (if you wish to help with a translation then please do)
• Minimize to tray with transfer rate summary.
• Full Unicode support through UTF-8 and native Windows wide-char strings.
• Login support where tracker requires it.
• Ability to edit trackers specified in the torrent.
• Ability to create torrent files.
• Port randomisation and forwarding (UnPlug and Play or NAT-PMP).
• Transfer rate and connection limits both global and per-torrent.
• Shutdown scheduler.
• Fully compatible with UAC.
