Re: Implementing idea for GSoC 2013 - Transfers App

About the bit-torrent protocol support, I asked about yesterday, I would
like to ask again if it will be added to Transfers as part of its features
as Download Manager or will it again be implemented as D-Bus interface in
existing bit-torrent clients with notification in Transfers. For former, I
couldn't find any good bit-torrent libraries based on C ( only
http://sourceforge.net/projects/libbt/ which again is outdated). I found
some good C++ based libraries, particularly
libtorrent<http://www.rasterbar.com/products/libtorrent/>which has lot
features and is still being developed.

Could I also know who will be the mentor(s) for this project?
