Python Peer-to-Peer File Sharing Network

A simple peer-to-peer file sharing torrenting network with encrypted payload transportation and support for multiple clients over sockets with multi-threading. The application emulates multiple clients connecting to a single server in order to retrieve a list of clients which have files, and then be able to transport files across each client via sockets.

Usage

1. Start the torrent server. (python server.py)
2. Start a client. (python client.py <socket (0-25565)>)

Help

All clientsided commands are executed with plain words, for serversided commands the global command deilimeter is used to recognize commands that should be encrypted with a payload and sent to the server with the respective request. This can be changed in the shared.py file.

You can toggle debug outputs in shared.py.
