/**

  1. Introduction **/

    TorrentFlux-NG is a multi-user download client inspired by TorrentFlux B4rt http://www.torrentflux-ng.org/

    It includes the new RedRound theme and uses jQuery

    TorrentFlux-NG is a web based transfer control client. it allows you to control your torrent/http/... transfers from anywhere using a highly configurable web based front end.

    The full code rewrite makes TorrentFlux-NG a framework for which easily new transfer backends (Torrent clients, ...) can be added.

    TorrentFlux-NG is very easy to install on a web server and includes a simple setup script which can be accessed from a web browser. Just upload the files to your web server, run the setup script and your installation is ready to go.

    TorrentFlux-NG has builtin support for transfers via:

    o BitTorrent - supported client(s) include:
    
        * Original BitTorrent/Mainline - supports trackerless
          torrents and encryption
    
        * BitTornado - uses slightly less resources than the original
          BT, allows file priority for downloading files selectively
    
        * Transmission - much smaller memory footprint without much
          loss in functionality
    
        * Transmission-daemon - small memory footprint, total 
          bandwidth control, encryption, dht, magnet links, ...
    
        * Azureus - control a number of transfers from a single
          control process, tighter control on total max bandwidth
          for all torrents
    
    o HTTP/FTP - supported client(s) include:
    
        * wget - standard lightweight file transfer utility on
          Linux, supported on many other platforms also
    
    o Usenet - supported client(s) include:
    
        * nzbperl - perl based application allowing multi-connection
          news server downloads from nzb files with functionality
          for bandwidth throttling.

    TorrentFlux-NG incorporates a huge number of advanced options to allow you finer grained control of your transfers. The administration panel in torrentflux-b4rt includes a large number of options to allow you fine grained control over every aspect of your bittorrent/transfers usage.

    TorrentFlux-NG is also a multi-user application, allowing you to create individual accounts and assign restrictions to those accounts as you wish.
