| ctorrent | Version: 1.3.4.dnh3.3.2-1 |
BitTorrent Client written in C++
This application is written in the C++ language and doesn't
require any graphical component, such as an X server. Original
ctorrent's upstream has stopped its development and now it's kept
updated with new releases/bug fixes by a new developer.
It's built as a console program and it can be even used remotely
in a machine that provides outside ssh access. Other main features are:
* Support for large files (>2GB) and large torrents (>255 files).
* Strategic selection of pieces to request for download.
* Continuous queueing of download requests, tuned based on
latency and throughput for each peer.
* Improved download performance, including parallel requests
in initial and endgame modes.
* Improved bandwidth regulation.
* Improved compatibility with other peers.
* Performance optimization and bug fixes.
* An interface for monitoring and managing multiple clients.
* Dynamic cache allocation and management, including prefetch.

| iperf | Version: 2.0.4-1 |
Internet Protocol bandwidth measuring tool
Iperf is a modern alternative for measuring TCP and UDP bandwidth performance,
allowing the tuning of various parameters and characteristics.
Features:
* Measure bandwidth, packet loss, delay jitter
* Report MSS/MTU size and observed read sizes.
* Support for TCP window size via socket buffers.
* Multi-threaded. Client and server can have multiple simultaneous
connections.
* Client can create UDP streams of specified bandwidth.
* Multicast and IPv6 capable.
* Options can be specified with K (kilo-) and M (mega-) suffices.
* Can run for specified time, rather than a set amount of data to transfer.
* Picks the best units for the size of data being reported.
* Server handles multiple connections.
* Print periodic, intermediate bandwidth, jitter, and loss reports at
specified intervals.
* Server can be run as a daemon.
* Use representative streams to test out how link layer compression affects
your achievable bandwidth.

| openssh | Version: 5.1p1-1 |
secure shell client, an rlogin/rsh/rcp replacement
This is the portable version of OpenSSH, a free implementation of
the Secure Shell protocol as specified by the IETF secsh working
group.
Ssh (Secure Shell) is a program for logging into a remote machine
and for executing commands on a remote machine.
It provides secure encrypted communications between two untrusted
hosts over an insecure network. X11 connections and arbitrary TCP/IP
ports can also be forwarded over the secure channel.
It is intended as a replacement for rlogin, rsh and rcp, and can be
used to provide applications with a secure communication channel.
This package provides the ssh, scp and sftp clients, the ssh-agent
and ssh-add programs to make public key authentication more convenient,
and the ssh-keygen, ssh-keyscan, ssh-copy-id and ssh-argv0 utilities.
In some countries it may be illegal to use any encryption at all
without a special permit.

| wget | Version: 1.12-1 |
retrieves files from the web
Wget is a network utility to retrieve files from the Web
using http(s) and ftp, the two most widely used Internet
protocols. It works non-interactively, so it will work in
the background, after having logged off. The program supports
recursive retrieval of web-authoring pages as well as ftp
sites -- you can use wget to make mirrors of archives and
home pages or to travel the Web like a WWW robot.
Wget works particularly well with slow or unstable connections
by continuing to retrieve a document until the document is fully
downloaded. Re-getting files from where it left off works on
servers (both http and ftp) that support it. Both http and ftp
retrievals can be time stamped, so wget can see if the remote
file has changed since the last retrieval and automatically
retrieve the new version if it has.
Wget supports proxy servers; this can lighten the network load,
speed up retrieval, and provide access behind firewalls.

| whois | Version: 4.7.24-1 |
the GNU whois client
This is a new whois (RFC 3912) client rewritten from scratch.
It is inspired from and compatible with the usual BSD and RIPE whois(1)
programs.
It is intelligent and can automatically select the appropriate whois
server for most queries.
The package also contains mkpasswd, a simple front end to crypt(3).
