aria2
aria2 is a lightweight multi-protocol & multi-source, cross platform download utility operated in command-line. It supports HTTP/HTTPS, FTP, SFTP, BitTorrent and Metalink.
i don't know about a cli tool you could use to search and download torrent files but aria2 is a CLI tool that's capable of downloading torrents

Project mention: Nuklear – A single-header ANSI C immediate mode cross-platform GUI library | news.ycombinator.com | 2022-12-23
Not exaclty -- it looks like it's pretty overkill for my needs
I'm looking for something more like websocketpp[0], or even just grpc without a requisite proxy. uWebsockets looks really promising, being header only, but in the fine print requires a runtime library. unfortunately, none of that ecosystem seems to use cmake, making integrating it that much more of a pain.
why use cpp for this, I'm sure some HNer will ask. the ray tracer itself is using cuda, that's why. I've also debated
- running it as a grpc server and having some proxy in a more web-accessible language
- creating python bindings and using python to make a websocket/http server for it
neither of those are out of the question, but they're not my first choices, because I'd like to keep the build & execution simple. introducing dependencies, especially other executables, is in conflict with that.
i don't need anything particularly scalable -- a threaded implementation, or one using select() would be fine, if not preferable.

Project mention: PocketPy: A Lightweight(~5000 LOC) Python Implementation in C++17 | reddit.com/r/cpp | 2023-02-06
Every one of these libraries uses CMake to make it easier for end users to consume their libraries. In fact your example uses CMake as well such that I can consume it the way I describe above.

drogon
Drogon: A C++14/17/20 based HTTP web application framework running on Linux/macOS/Unix/Windows
Project mention: Ask HN: Easiest and cheapest full-stack frameworks that you love? | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-02-09talking about C++, there are drogon framework: https://github.com/drogonframework/drogon
not bells and whistles like on Wt as there are no integrated widgets. But have c++ based template (for HTML) engine and other integrated parts what you expect from framework (routing, controllers, db, authentication handling and so on).
and boasts high performance design

Project mention: KitaJs Survey - No runtime code, fast as bare metal and top level framework. | reddit.com/r/typescript | 2022-12-09
The fastest node framework is uWebSockets (as they claim, I didn't try it yet), so if Kita's goal is to maximize performance - you should check on it.

Project mention: Trying to use libcpr, linking errors - newbie... | reddit.com/r/cpp_questions | 2022-12-03
So I'm very new to C++ and I'm trying to write a C++ version of a tool that I put together in Python. I'm trying to use libcpr for all my HTTP needs. I've spent the day trying to get it set up and working, but I'm getting a bunch of linking errors when I try to run. I really don't know if I did the building of it correctly, I'm trying to use Visual Studio Community 2022 and the Usage section of their docs talks about CMake and a couple package manager methods.

Project mention: How to get my IP traffic data to an AWS lambda using Darkstat? | reddit.com/r/openwrt | 2023-01-27
I recommend trying a transparent proxy like Squid. There are many analytics tools for Squid logs. Squid can generate TLS certificates on the fly to inspect secure websites but you'll have to generate and install a CA certificate and key into Squid. You'll also have to import the CA certificate on any machine accessing the internet through the Squid proxy. Squid has the added bonus of caching content to speed up web browsing and reduce data usage.
