MonoTorrent is a cross-platform library implementing the BitTorrent protocol. It is based on the Mono implementation of the .NET Framework. As a result, MonoTorrent can be compiled and executed on every major operating system available today. There has also been work completed recently which allows the library to operate on the Compact .NET framework. This now allows the library to run on any platform supporting the compact framework, such as smart phones.
