+btrtrc -- better BitTorrent client
+
+This is a fork of https://github.com/anacrolix/torrent BitTorrent
+library with own cmd/btrtrc client implementation. Comparing to
+cmd/torrent it has much less configuration options, mainly hardcoding
+the most of them. But what advantages does it have, not including its native
+capabilities (IPv6, DHT, μTP, PEX, magnet links, HTTP/UDP trackers)?
+
+* Optimized file-based storage:
+ * linearized I/O operations prevent creation of huge quantity of threads
+ * cached file descriptors save a lot of syscalls
+* Shortened long filenames in file-based storage
+* Ability to specify both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses to announce
+* Ability to specify DHT bootstrap nodes
+* Dynamic addition and removing of the torrents
+* Much richer and nicer coloured status output
+* Ability to calculate seed ratio, by remembering outgoing traffic amount
+* Simpler piece completion database per each torrent in separate files
+* Ability to sequentially create/verify torrent's piece completion database
+
+Look at USAGE file further.
