Is the BitTorrent Python code you’re referencing Twisted, the Python networking library, something else?

Also, guessing that Google was likely one of the first systems widely used that was implemented in part using Python.



BitTorrent is the first ever program that implements the BitTorrent protocol, written by Bram Cohen, who designed the protocol.


Thanks, with the additional information I was able to find the original source code from 2001 and how to run it, for anyone that’s curious:

The original BitTorrent code was written in Python.
