UDTSimple: a simple server and client based on UDT

[killman]

Sorry if it is sort of crummy, but it is my first GTK+ application.

First, UDT is a data tranfer protocol in UDP.

From their site:
[quote]
UDT is a reliable UDP based application level data transport protocol for distributed data intensive applications over wide area high-speed networks. UDT uses UDP to transfer bulk data with its own reliability control and congestion control mechanisms. The new protocol can transfer data at a much higher speed than TCP does. UDT is also a highly configurable framework that can accommodate various congestion control algorithms.

Now here are my programs:

Here is the tarball:
[url]https://github.com/Lalaland/UDTSimple/tarball/master[/url]

The libudt.a version in the repository is for Linux 64-bit.
The Linux 32-bit libudt.a is in the 32bit folder. Replace the 64-bit one in lib/ with it if you are on a 32bit machine

To compile, just download the repo, cd to it then type:

cmake .
make 

I do not know how to compile it on windows, but UDT is cross-platform so it theoretically is possible.

The github is here:

Three major bugs remain:
When you disconnect from the server, the files stay in the list. I tried clearing the list, but it did not work. Attemping to download one of these is a crash.
Quiting one of the applications mid transit is a crash.
Quiting at any time throws some exceptions, but just ignore them.

Total code size: 1255 lines

What's the point of using UDP if you're going to emulate TCP?

But otherwise, nice work.
