-CTorrent is a terminal based BitTorrent client.
+Enhanced CTorrent is a terminal based BitTorrent client.
+
+The original has fallen a little behind in updates and bug fixes though.
+
+The files here contain the good work of those who wrote the original CTorrent
+base code and a number of patches that provide fixes and enhancements, as well
+as additional fixes and enhancements that I am contributing. I am not the
+original author, current maintainer, or any other official representative of
+CTorrent. The files on this page are not the original or official CTorrent
+distribution. I encourage you to visit the CTorrent project page on SourceForge
+for further information.
+
+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
+  * Dynamic cache allocation and management, including prefetch
+  * Flexible console I/O redirection
+  * Interactive control commands and menus
