Your sponsorship is important to me because it will allow me to spend more time improving libtorrent and continue to support its users. It will also help with hosting costs for libtorrent.org and dht.libtorrent.org.

Notable areas of improvements of libtorrent are:

• performance improvements and updates to support newer and better OS features. Mostly related to disk I/O, networking and the uTP transport protocol
• improving bittorrent client behavior, such as choking algorithm and rate limiter
• improving DHT performance and resiliency against attacks
• improving support for IPv6 and multi-homed systems
• adding new features
