I have recently extracted a package tracker-client. This package contains all related to tracker clients with two functionalities:

• Low-level tracker clients (UDP and HTTP). This is a library.
• High-level tracker console clients (UDP, HTTP and Checker). These are console apps.

In our weekly meeting, we discussed it, and we decided to split this package into two packages too:

• bittorrent-tracker-client
• torrust-tracker-client

The reason is bittorrent-tracker-client are generic clients, and torrust-tracker-client is a Torrust console app.

packages/tracker-client

• Crate: bittorrent-tracker-client
• It contains only a library with low-level clients.

console/tracker-client

• Crate: torrust-tracker-client
• It contains the high-level console clients only.

NOTICE: This console clients will be merged in the future in a single one.

@josecelano what do you think about using the /tools/ instead of /console/ for the client?

Hi @da2ce7 I would use console until we have more tools, unless you already know about other tools we would like to implement. Since the crate name is different, we can change it later.

Alternatively, we could use tools/console/tracker-client if you think console is too specific to be in the root folder.
