Hadouken 5.1

Hadouken

Hadouken is a fast and quite minimalistic BitTorrent client. One of the simplest and smallest BitTorrent clients that you could ever find. Hadouken runs as a native Windows Service and can be managed through the embedded web interface which is bundled with the installer. The web interface is accessible on https://localhost:7070/gui/index.html after installation (adjust the port accordingly).

Hadouken features:

  • A powerful embedded web interface.
  • Highly configurable, a single JSON text file to configure all aspects of Hadouken.
  • Low memory footprint making it ideal for low-powered devices such as the Raspberry Pi.
  • JSONRPC API over HTTP giving third-party developers complete freedom to integrate Hadouken with any kind of system.
  • Automatically monitor directories for torrent files and add them based on regular expression matching, giving powerful abilities for sorting and tagging torrents.
  • Advanced RSS feed monitoring capabilities making subscribing to various feeds a breeze.
  • Move completed torrents matching specific regular expressions or having the correct set of tags.
  • Send push notifications to your devices via Pushbullet or Pushover.
  • Launch executables on various events, such as when a torrent finishes.
  • A powerful JavaScript API making it easy to customize and extend Hadouken with plugins.
  • Unattended installations to give domain administrators the ability to set up Hadouken clusters with ease.

What's new in version 5.x.x:

This is a complete rewrite of Hadouken - we went from C# to C++ and in the process we actually got cross-platform support. This release is not backwards compatible with v4 although migrating torrents might be possible.

  • A brand new JavaScript API. Now, most of Hadouken's core is written in JavaScript. This makes it easier to implement features, fix bugs, and contribute in general.
  • Brand new remote client. Hadouken does not bundle its own web client anymore, although the new one can be hosted yourself. The source is of course available.
  • Cross-platform support! - Hadouken runs on most modern Windows versions, from Vista and up. It also runs on Debian (and derivatives), as well as on the R-Pi. Exciting!
  • Brand new MSI package. The Windows Installer has been rewritten should work the same, but be prettier.

What's new in Hadouken 5.1:

A major minor release of sorts. It features a brand new embedded web interface (no more remote.hdkn.net, yay!). Lots of small fixes and features, the hightlights are,

  • Removed anonymous and token authentication. Only HTTP Basic authentication is supported. The default username/password combination (if you're upgrading and have not configured basic auth) is admin/admin.
  • Support for setting labels on torrents.
  • After installation, the default URL for the web interface is https://localhost:7070/gui/index.html
