I've been taking classes in College that use C and Java, so I have some
experience with both. I want to make a Bit Torrent client in C with a
gui (for fun). However, I've never done any programming projects on my
own, just assignments and stuff and I don't really know where to start.
What should I do to get started? What topics do I need to learn
about? I tried looking at the source for the original client but it's
in python and I have no idea what's going on. :) Thanks.

my suggestion: take up something MUCH MUCH simpler, as you will be lost
to even where to start. If you're really interested, the protocol
description is at http://bittorrent.com/protocol.html.

This is also off-topic in this newsgroup

for goodness' sake, stop being such an idiot. If you don't like the topic
here, go elsewhere.

Mark, *please* stop feeding the troll. He's unlikely to stop being an
idiot, but he just might stop being an idiot *here* -- if we all
ignore him.

The anwer was simple here keith, if people had followed the suggestions
given by E. Robert Tisdale in the thread about off topic posts, I would
have left everyone alone, people wanted to make a big deal of it, so I did
too. Its quite simple, people keep firing bullets at me, i'll keep firing
back.

So if people had just "ignored" the off topic thread, instead of rubbing
more salt into the wound, I would have shut up a long time ago.

peace
