h1. Managing Downloading Torrents

[[Managing [[Download Torrents#Starting a download|Example 1]] shows how to add a torrent to the engine and start the download

h2. Example 1

<pre><code class="java">
class MainClass
{
ClientEngine engine;
string savePath;

// savePath is the directory where downloads will be stored
public MainClass(string savePath)
{
// Create a basic ClientEngine without changing any settings
this.engine = new ClientEngine(new EngineSettings());
this.savePath = savePath;
}

public void DownloadTorrent(string path)
{
// Open the .torrent file
Torrent torrent = Torrent.Load(path);

// Create the manager which will download the torrent to savePath
// using the default settings.
TorrentManager manager = new TorrentManager(torrent, savePath, new TorrentSettings());

// Register the manager with the engine
engine.Register(manager);

// Begin the download
manager.Start();
}
}
</code></pre>

h2. Advanced Client

<pre><code class="java">

ClientEngine engine = new ClientEngine(new EngineSettings(downloadsPath, port));

//DHT
DhtListener dhtListner = new UdpListener (new IPEndPoint (IPAddress.Any, port));
DhtEngine dht = new DhtEngine (dhtListner);
engine.RegisterDht(dht);
dhtListner.Start();
//byte array of dht nodes can be null if you have never connect to DHT before today!
engine.DhtEngine.Start(nodes);

torrent = Torrent.Load("test.torrent");
TorrentManager manager = new TorrentManager(torrent, downloadsPath, torrentDefaults);

//FastResume code need a BencodedDictionnary
//If you jsut start the torrent, you have no fast resume
// but if you have download a part of the torrent you can save fast resume data
//(manager.SaveFastResume()) and restore it later to do a quicker load
manager.LoadFastResume(new FastResume (BEncDictFastResume));

engine.Register(manager);
manager.Start ();
