 CTorrent is a BitTorrent Client program by C for FreeBSD and Linux.
-Fast and small are CTorrent's two strengths.
+Fast and small are CTorrent's two strengths. Since CTorrent has been abandoned
+by the original dev, this Enhanced CTorrent was forked, so I updated this
+module in moonbase to use the enhanced fork.
+
+The purpose of the Enhanced CTorrent effort is to fix problems that remain in
+the code, modernize existing features and algorithms, and implement new
+features while maintaining low overhead requirements and a high standard of
+performance (both part of the original CTorrent design philosophy). Highlights
+of the enhanced client include:
+
+   * 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
