Towards making Bittorrent anonymous and impossible to shut down.

Developers usually hang out in the official IRC channel #tribler @ FreeNode (click here for direct a webchat window)

We use our own dedicated Tor-like network for anonymous torrent downloading. We implemented and enhanced the Tor protocol specifications plus merged them with Bittorrent streaming. More info: https://github.com/Tribler/tribler/wiki Tribler includes our own Tor-like onion routing network with hidden services based seeding and end-to-end encryption, detailed specs: https://github.com/Tribler/tribler/wiki/Anonymous-Downloading-and-Streaming-specifications

The aim of Tribler is giving anonymous access to online (streaming) videos. We are trying to make privacy, strong cryptography and authentication the Internet norm.

Tribler currently offers a Youtube-style service. For instance, Bittorrent-compatible streaming, fast search, thumbnail previews and comments. For the past 9 years we have been building a very robust Peer-to-Peer system. Today Tribler is robust: "the only way to take Tribler down is to take The Internet down" (but a single software bug could end everything).

We make use of submodules, so remember using the --recursive argument when cloning this repo.

Setting up your development environment

We support development on Linux, OS X and Windows. We have written documentation that guides you through installing the required packages when setting up a Tribler development environment. See our Linux development guide for the guide on setting up a development environment on Linux distributions. See our Windows development guide for setting everything up on Windows. See our OS X development guide for the guide to setup the development environment on OS X. For German translations, see here.

Packaging Tribler

We have written guides on how to package Tribler for distribution on various systems. Please take a look here.

Submodule notes

  • As updated submodules are in detached head state, remember to check out a branch before commiting changes on them.
  • If you forgot to check out a branch before doing a commit, you should get a warning telling you about it. To get the commit to a branch just check out the branch and do a git cherry-pick of the commit.
  • Take care of not accidentally commiting a submodule revision change with git commit -a.
  • Do not commit a submodule update without running all the tests first and making sure the new code is not breaking Tribler.
