I have just finished my course in data structures. and now i was thinking of building a bit torrent client.

However when i googled the stuff i couldn’t understand any of the terminologies such as sockets, ports etc.

I just need a general guidance of where to look. Books, tutorials anything else in general what kind of skills do i need to make a bit torrent client, what kind of language is suited best for the job or even what kind of courses should i look to in order to accomplish my goal.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

    I would say one of the things you need to know is how computer networks work. This includes packet transmition, sockets, ports, threads, etc…

    Computer networking is such a broad subject but I can leave here my personal sugestion of a book I loved to read and learn about computer networking (somewhat of an introduction to networking, but explains alot and even teaches you how to program in java using sockets).

    Computer Networking, a Top-Down Approach Featuring the Internet, James F. Kurose, Keith W. Ross, 2005, Addison-Wesley

    It explains concepts like packet transmition, threading, sockets, ports and so much more. I recall it even has a section about torrents.
