1.4 Project scope

The utorrent is a file downloading client which works on the peer to peer network
architecture and uses bit torrent peer to peer protocol to provide the necessary
functionalities .utorrent is a freeware, closed source BitTorrent client by BitTorrent,
Inc. Its the Software Developed for Downloading Large Amount of Files. Its a peer-
to-peer file sharing protocol used for distributing large amounts of data.
Utorrent is Very Easy Way to Download Files. Its Very Convenient to Download
through this Software. The Main & very Excellent Feature of this Software is that
you don't have to worry about your Link Breakdown or wait to Shutdown your
Computer till your Download is Completed. It works when it gets the Internet
Connection and Starts its Work. It Resumes the Downloads from where it was
Interrupted.

2. Overall Description
2.1 Product perspective
The utorrent project is a new self contained product intended for use on the desktop platform. While
the utorrent desktop application is the only main focus of this document but there is also another
world which lies on the other side of this system which helps utorrent to execute its operations
successfully and flawlessly below is the diagram which explains the working of utorrent.

2.2 Product features

The following list offers a brief outline and description of the main features and
functionalities of the utorrent system . The features have been split into two
categories one is core features and the other is additional features . As the additional
features only enhance the existing product and doesn’t really add any additional
features so they would only be implemented if the time permits.

Core features
1 Creating a torrent
2 downloading the torrent
3 Viewing the torrent transfer details
4 Automation
5 utorrent remote
6 torrent queuing
7 play now

Additional features
1 Built-in antivirus protection
2 HD media player
3 Convertor for Apple android
4 Remotely download contents
5 Queue

2.3 Operating environment

The utorrent system will be a very light weight and user friendly in nature . Its not
very resource or graphics intensive software so no notable hardware constraints
bound it . It could run on both 32 bit and 64 bit computer architecture’s . utorrent is a
self contained application and doesn’t really depend on many external objects . All
this applications need is internet connection and a file to download. Utorrent would
have a support for windows , linux , solaris and all other unix based operating
systems . Utorrent requires only 20 MB of installation space and doesn’t have any
hyperbole ram and other memory requirements.
Page 7

2.4 Design and implementation constraints

The utorrent system’s primary design and implementation constraint is this that it
couldn’t be used in mobile operating systems because it is designed to make the
download of large files easy and manageable so there is no point of making utorrent
for the mobile platform as large files aren’t really expected to be downloaded on the
mobile platform. Another constraint would be this that it has a threshold internet
speed below which it will operate but there wont remain any significant difference
between an ordinary downloading client and utorrent and its significance will be lost
surely so it is advisable that mediocre speed internet is used when using utorrent.

2.5 User documentation

The primary goal of utorrent is to make downloading of the large files speedy and
manageable . The developer have focused on making this application which could be
easily understandable and user interface is intuitive . Nonetheless users may still
require some supplementary information to help them understand the core
functionalities of the software which are either not apparent or users couldn’t
comprehend it. For this purpose the application will contain a help feature will
entertain the inquisitive users of the application by answering their questions and
quenching there curiosity for the application . This help feature will also contain the
frequently asked questions and about section for the application this section will also
provide users with the snippets of main application functionalities. Apart from this if
the user wants to delve deeper into the application framework than the user could also
visit the website accompanying the application with the domain name
www.utorrent.com where they could find in depth , extensive and well explained
documentation of the application.

2.6 Assumption and dependencies

Time dependencies
As it is mentioned before that the features of utorrent has been split into two
categories namely core features and additional features the core features are those
which are of utmost importance and precede any other type of features in
importance . These features are to be ingrained into the system at any cost because
these are the requirement of the customer which are of utter importance.
Page 8

On the other side the additional features are of not the same importance as that of
core features . Additional features are those features which don’t add further
functionality to the product but only enhances the existing core functionalities of the
product at hand . This is the reason why core functionalities are the one on which all
the time is spent and if the development time is left then some heed is for sure paid to
the additional features.

Hardware dependencies
some of the utorrent functionalities are dependent on the hardware like NIC and
internet connection . If the user wants to use the utorrent efficiently then the user
needs to connect to the internet other wise utorrent would be nothing but only
another another application lying on your desktop. Features like downloading a
torrent and uploading a torrent to name a few are the features which require a high
speed internet to work to their fullest . Apart from that the utorrent doesn’t really
require or is not dependent on any other computer’s internal hardware . It would only
need some peripheral devices to operate it like keyboard and mouse .

3.SYSTEM FEATURES
Utorrent system features are divided into two main categories: core features and
additional features. Core features form the body of the application and include any
features that are essential to the functionality of the utorrent system. These features must
be implemented in order to have a fully-functioning application. Additional features,
however, are not required for the app to function. They include any features which, if
time permits, will be added to the application in order to provide extra functionality.

Core features
3.1 Creating a torrent
In order to share data, we first need to create and share a torrent. Here we can select the source files
we wish to share, the trackers to use, and configure other sharing behaviours.

3.1.1 STIMULUS AND RESPONSE SEQUENCES

Step 1 Go to File | Create New Torrent.

Step 2 Click on the Add file / Add directory button. If you plan on sharing a file or sharing a
directory, press the relevant button and find the data to share.
Page 9

Step 3 If you wish to skip files in the directory you have chosen, add which files to skip in the Skip
Files textbox. This textbox works by matching the filenames within a directory with a string, which
can use wildcards (*) and pipes (|).

Step 4 Enter the trackers that this torrent will use. By default, uTorrent will enter trackers
www.openbittorrent.com and www.publicbt.com, though you can add other trackers to this list if
required. By adding more trackers to this list, the torrent will get more exposure to the potential
participants.

Step 5 If you have the torrent contents accessible on a web server and want to list it as a backup
location, enter the URL in the Web Seeds textbox. This option ensures the files inside the torrent
are accessible even if no other participants are present to transfer data.

Step 6 Use the Comment textbox to enter any extra information that the users may require.

Step 7 Keep the Piece size as (auto detect) . This can be altered if desired, but it is better to leave it
as it is, since the Piece size relates to how the files will be divided. If you manually choose 16 KB,
the data will be divided into 16 KB chunks. Choosing the wrong piece size for the data size can
make torrents inefficient, so it is better to let uTorrent decide.

Step 8 Enable the Start seeding checkbox. This option will make the torrent available to upload as
soon as the torrent creation is complete.

Step 9 If you want this torrent to be private, enable the Private torrent checkbox. This will disable
the DHT and PEX ( Peer Exchange ) protocols, making tracker the only method of interacting with
this torrent.

4.2 Hardware interfaces

Utorrent is not that hardware dependent it is a small sized and low graphics
application so it won’t push the systems hardware on which it is being run. Utorrent
is solely developed for desktop computers usage it does not have any mobile platform
counterparts .

4.3 Software interfaces

utorrent is to be developed using the python programming language and python

socket interfaces so that it could communicate to the internet as well.

4.3.1 Incoming and outgoing items

• The incoming items contain the utorrent updates and pop ups information
• The outgoing information includes the client information.
Page 21

4.4 Communication interfaces

Utorrent has a communication interface with browser (which ever browser is default
for the given PC) it can call for the services of the browser whenever an update is
recommended or when some pop-up is clicked . The browser could also call for the
utorrent whenever it encounters the torrent file it will immediately call for utorrent
because it is the torrent client and whenever the user will open the torrent file the
computer will automatically open it in utorrent if it is installed on the respective PC.

5 OTHER NON FUNCTIONAL

REQUIREMENTS
5.1 Performance requirements
The utorrent doesn’t have much of the performance requirements as it is a light
application but as far as the torrent download speed is concerned it would be
proportional to the speed of the internet if the net is slow than application cant do any
thing. The download speed also depends on the number of torrent files being
downloaded if the number of files are greater than one than the download speed will
be divided between these files and download won’t be that fast but utorrent
application gives a resolve for that by default utorrent will queue all those files which
will be added after the fifth torrent file in to the download list keeping them from
downloading . This queue limit could also be tweaked in settings .

5.2 Safety requirements

Utorrent application is not risk heavy application that is it wont affect any other
applications data existing on the same hard drive as utorrent however it could affect
adversely other download clients speed. One thing should be kept in mind while
downloading the torrent files using utorrent which is utorrent does not contain any
built-in anti-virus or anti malware. So when ever utorrent is being used user’s firewall
or anti-malware should be up and running.

5.3 Security requirements

There’s only one security requirement that the user who is using utorrent must have
administrative permissions to the system he or she is using .
Page 22

5.4 Software quality attributes

The graphical user interface of utorrent is to be designed with usability as the first
priority. The app will be presented and organized in a manner that is both visually
appealing and easy for the user to navigate. There will be feedbacks and visual cues
such as notifications to inform users of updates and pop-ups to provide users with
instructions.
