This article refers to the original Ziptorrent C++ Bittorrent client, and the 2007 version of Azureus modified specifically by MediaDefender Inc. to disrupt Bittorrent downloads.
ZipTorrent was a BitTorrent client written entirely using C++ with the intention of being small and fast. The last known version, 1.3.7.3, was released in 2005, and development has stopped.
[edit] Main features
- Built-in RSS Reader, with the ability to track many concurrent feeds
- Built-in IRC Client, with the ability to connect to many networks at once, and the ability to send each other torrent files via DCC, or via direct links (URL's) to torrents.
- Automatic content catcher - Enter your desired keywords, your undesired keywords, and ZipTorrent will automatically fish for such content on RSS and on IRC channels, and automatically download that content for you.
- Torrent Archive "wakes up" dormant torrents when your computer is not used
[edit] 3rd Party Software used
[edit] MediaDefender "ZipTorrent"
In 2007 MediaDefender Inc. created a modification of the popular bittorrent client Azureus, taking over the name "ZipTorrent".[1] This modification is in no way associated with the original ZipTorrent standalone client. The MediaDefender Ziptorrent is designed to simulate (spoof) other clients and hinder Bittorrent traffic.
