+# BitTorrentSwift
+A Swift implementation of the BitTorrent protocol, with very simple example iOS app.
+
+## Introduction
+This is a working implementation of the basic BitTorrent protocol. Still a work in progress with many features/optimisations/fixes needed, 
+but for now it works! 🎉
+
+I decided to write this because I found it a interesting a challenging way to practise my iOS, it was a lot of fun to write, 
+and to demonstrate my ability to write good code!
+
+### What can it do today?
+- It can download a torrent from other seeds/peers given a valid `.torrent` file.
+- It will also seed (upload) to other peers which connect.
+
+### What is being worked on at the moment?
+- Implementation of the DHT protocol (to enable trackerless torrents, and the ability to start a torrent via a magnet link)
+- Dropping non-responsive and redundant peers
+- Implementing an algorithm to speed up downloading the last bits.
+
+### Things for future
+- Make a nice app with a more useful UI as the example app
+- Replace the socket library for one written in pure Swift to make this a pure swift codebase
