Quick and dirty implementation of the BitTorrent protocol.

I was able to download Debian ISO with this program, but I think that there are still some concurrency bugs that make the program hang forever once it finishes download. Bencode decoder could have an interface to encoding/json, but I was too lazy to implement the unmarshalling logic. Endgame mode is not implemented, and the program also assumes that at least 1 peer will have the wanted piece.

It's named after a Dota 2 hero.
