PyTor
A BitTorrent client written from the protocol spec on raw TCP.
A peer-to-peer file-sharing client implemented directly against the BitTorrent specification: bencode parsing, tracker announce, the peer handshake and length-prefixed message framing over raw TCP sockets, with no BitTorrent library.
