My project is faring reasonably well so far - it can successfully download large real-world torrents at decent speed. In the course of development, so far I have been focusing solely on the core specification, as documented here. Having gotten support for peer connections - outgoing and incoming - working, I started to notice something. Some peers would send ostensibly random data to my client. Investigation of this led me to conclude these were peers using the Message Stream Encryption protocol. [...] [...] I have been working quite a bit recently on my BitTorrent implementation.
