A BitTorrent client written in Rust.
matey currently only supports a limited subset of
real-world torrent files, the primary type defined in BEP
0003. This means no support for
multiple announcers or the DHT protocol. In practice, unfortunately, this means
that most real-world torrents don't work with it, but a good deal do, such as
those distributed by mainstream Linux distributions, for instance.
