BitTorrent library for Pharo

Usage:

If I am the creator of the .torrent:

locationString:= '/path/to/directoryIWantToShare' .

metainfo:=BtMetainfo new 
				buildOn: locationString asFileReference 
				announce: 'udp://open.demonii.com:1337/announce' 
				pieceLength: (2 raisedTo: 14).

We need to upload this file to a torrent index

metainfo writeToFile: '/path/to/myMetainfo.torrent' asFileReference . 
metainfoString := '/path/to/myMetainfo.torrent'.

If I am not the creator of the .torrent:

locationString:='/path/to/destinationFolder'.

We have to download a file .torrent from a torrent index metainfoString:='/path/to/filesToShare.torrent'.

Common part:

torrent:= BtTorrent metainfoFileString: metainfoString locationString: locationString.

localPeer:= BtLocalPeer start.
localPeer addTorrent: torrent.
torrent start.

Maybe you want to stop a specific torrent only:

torrent stop.

To stop local peer (and all its torrents):

localPeer stop.
