Has anyone had any experience using Adobe Air to create BitTorrent application?
Is there presently any reference on this?
Please provide as much information as possible.
as far as I know, torrent uses µTP, which is based on UDP … UDP is not accessible through the AIR API … you may want to embed a small Java applet (within a HTMLLoader, which is off the display list) … signed Java applets can bind ports and do UDP … so you’d basically let the Java applet do the networking, and bind a TCP port, through which the AIR runtime can communicate with the applet … there are probably many Java torrenting libs out there …
it’s a bit questionable, whether it makes sense to use AIR at all, and not just have a pure Java solution, but I guess that’s up to you …
