-btpd: BTPD (The BitTorrent Protocol Daemon)
+# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
+# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description. Line
+# up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|'
+# on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. You must
+# make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also
+# customary to leave one space after the ':'.

+btpd: btpd (BitTorrent Protocol Daemon)
btpd:
-btpd: BTPD is a bittorrent client consisting of a daemon and
-btpd: client commands, which can be used to read and/or
-btpd: manipulate the daemon state. The daemon is capable of
-btpd: running several torrents simultaneously and only uses one
-btpd: tcp port. It's fairly low on resource usage and should be
-btpd: perfect for file distribution sites. Efficient downloads and
-btpd: ease of use makes this client a good choice for the casual
-btpd: user as well.

+btpd: Btpd is a utility for sharing files over the BitTorrent network
+btpd: protocol. It runs in daemon mode, thus needing no controlling
+btpd: terminal or gui. Instead, the daemon is controlled by the btcli
+btpd: command line utility, or other programs capable of sending commands
+btpd: and queries on the btpd control socket.
+btpd: The goal is to provide a healthy alternative to the still prevailing
+btpd: ftp/http servers for file distribution sites and a good BitTorrent
+btpd: client for the casual user.
