💎 opalescence 💎

Opalescence is a torrent client written in Python with asyncio.

It was originally started to explore new features in Python 3.6+ and learn more about asyncio, unittests, and more complex system architecture.

Current capabilities:

1. Download a specified .torrent file, piece by piece employing a naive sequential, tit-for-tat piece requesting strategy without unchoking remote peers. Opalescence checks for existing files in the given destination and will only download what's necessary.
