Halite BitTorrent Client 0.2.8

Halite is a open-source BitTorrent client and is based on the excellent libtorrent library from Rasterbar Software. What makes Halite stand out is its remote control interface allowing you to monitor and control the program from a mobile phone. Hailte is written in unicode so it will only run on Win2k or higher.

Features:

While still at an early state of development Halite is a functional BitTorrent client. So far its list of features is pretty standard but that is because I want to ensure it does the basic stuff well.

That said, it supports:
* Multiple downloads
* Displays more detailed information for the selected torrent
* Connection limits both global and per-torrent
* Transfer rate limits again global and per-torrent
* Minimize to tray with transfer rate summary
* Association with ".torrent" files
* Option to limit the number of instances to one
* Estimated time remaining indicator

What's New in Halite 0.2.8:

* IP filtering support eMule style ipfilter.dat files.
* DHT support, thought it is turned off by default.
* Can select alternate save directory for torrents.
* New icon!
