--- Bittorrent and DHT protocol library which enables users to read 
-- information from a torrent file, decode bencoded (bittorrent
-- encoded) buffers, find peers associated with a certain torrent and
-- retrieve nodes discovered during the search for peers.
--
-- For more information on the Bittorrent and DHT protocol go to:
-- http://www.bittorrent.org/beps/bep_0000.html
--
-- The library contains the class <code>Torrent</code> and the function bdecode(buf)
--
-- How this library is likely to be used:
-- <code>
--  local filename = "/home/user/name.torrent"
--  local torrent = bittorrent.Torrent:new()
--  torrent:load_from_file(filename)
--  torrent:trackers_peers() -- to load peers from the trackers
--  torrent:dht_peers() -- to further load peers using the DHT protocol from existing peers
-- </code>
-- After these operations the peers and nodes can be found in <code>torrent.peers</code> and
-- <code>torrent.nodes</code> tables respectively
--
-- @author "Gorjan Petrovski"
-- @license "Same as Nmap--See http://nmap.org/book/man-legal.html"
--

-- The usage of the library would be first to initialize a new Torrent
-- object. This initialization includes setting values for several
-- variables.
-- Next, a the torrent information needs to be loaded from a torrent file
-- or a magnet link. The information in question would be a list of
-- trackers, and the info_hash variable which is a 20 bytes length SHA1
-- hash of the info field in the torrent file. The torrent file includes
-- the field itself, but the magnet link only includes the info_hash
-- value.
-- After the basic info for the torrent is set, next the peers from the
-- trackers need to be downloaded (torrent:trackers_peers()). There are
-- http and udp trackers which use different protocols implemented in the
-- Torrent:http_tracker_peers() and Torrent:udp_tracker_peers(). The
-- communication is done serially and could be improved by using threads.
-- After a few peers have been discovered we can continue in using the
-- DHT protocol to discover more. We MUST have several peers in order to
-- use the DHT protocol, and what's more at least one of the peers must
-- have that protocol implemented. A peer which implements the DHT
-- protocol is called a node. What that protocol allows is actually to
-- find more peers for the torrent we are downloading/interested in, and
-- it also allows us to find more nodes (hosts which implement the DHT
-- protocol). Please notice that a DHT node does not necessarily have to
-- be a peer sharing the torrent we need. So, in fact we have two
-- networks, the network of peers (hosts sharing the torrent we need) and
-- the DHT network (network of nodes which allow us to find more peers
-- and nodes.
-- There are three kinds of commands we need to do DHT discovery:
-- - dht_ping, which is sent to a peer to test if the peer is a DHT node
-- - find_node, which is sent to a DHT node to discover more DHT nodes
-- - get_peers, which is sent to a DHT node to discover peers sharing a
-- specific torrent; If the node that we send the get_peers command
-- doesn't have a record of peers sharing that torrent, it returns more
-- nodes.
-- So in the bittorrent library I implemented every command in functions
-- which are run as separate threads. They synchronize their work using
-- the pnt condvar table. This is the map of pnt (peer node table):
-- pnt = { peers_dht_ping, peers, nodes_find_node, nodes_get_peers, nodes }
-- The dht_ping thread pings every peer in peers_dht_ping and then
-- inserts it into peers. It does this for batches of a 100 peers. If the
-- peer responds it adds it to the nodes_find_node list.
-- The find_node thread sends find_node queries to the nodes in
-- nodes_find_node, after which it puts them in nodes_get_peers. The
-- nodes included in the response are added to the nodes_find_node list
-- if they are not present in any of the nodes' lists.
-- The nodes_get_peers sends a get_peers query to every node in the list
-- after which they are added to the nodes list. If undiscovered peers
-- are returned they are inserted into peers_dht_ping. If undiscovered
-- nodes are found they are inserted into nodes_find_node.
-- All of these threads run for a specified timeout whose default value
-- is ~ 30 seconds.
-- As you can see all newly discovered nodes are added to the
-- nodes_find_node, and are processed first by the find_node thread, and
-- then by the get_peers thread. All newly discovered peers are added to
-- the peers_dht_ping to be processed by the dht_ping thread and so on.
-- That enables the three threads to cooperate and pass on peers and
-- nodes between each other.
-- 
-- There is also a bdecode function which decodes Bittorrent encoded
-- buffers and organizes them into a structure I deemed fit for use.
-- There are two known bittorrent structures: the list and the
-- dictionary. One problem I encountered was that the bittorrent
-- dictionary can have multiple entries with same-name keys. This kind of
-- structure is not supported by Lua, so I had to use lists to represent
-- the dictionaries as well which made accessing the keys a bit quirky
