 Below are some things that still need to be done, in order of priority.
 
 
-Don't ignore Packages.diff
+More/better statistics in the client and tracker
 
-Currently requests for Packages.diff return a 404 not found error, as 
-the AptListener doesn't yet know how to process these. This should be 
-improved to store a cached copy of the Packages file, and apply the 
-diffs to it as they download, then use the final file as the torrent 
-file. Security checking of the hashes of the diffs or the final file may 
-be necessary.
+The statistics viewable on the tracker and client's web interfaces are 
+not very complete or useful. The client's downloaded data numbers should 
+not reset on every restart, and should show the amount downloaded from 
+peers vs. the amount downloaded from the server. Also, more detailed 
+info could be available by clicking on the torrent, perhaps showing a 
+list of the connected peers, and how much they have downloaded. The 
+tracker also needs to keep it's numbers over restarts, and should show 
+more info on how much all peers have downloaded/uploaded for each 
+torrent.
+
+
+Investigate using other archives
+
+Some investigation needs to be done of how other archives will work with 
+the current setup (i.e. without sub-piece data or other addons). Though 
+they should work fine (just less efficiently), others have reported 
+problems with them. Some archives to try are security.d.o, volatile.d.o, 
+debian-multimedia.org, and archive.ubuntu.com.
+
+
+Add timeout checks for the created threads
+
+The threads created to perform some tasks need to have timeout checks 
+added for them. This is especially true for the cache download threads, 
+which (if hung) will prevent any future cache downloads from the site.
 
 
 Check if the torrent is already running before getting from the cache

 implementation would be to manage these connections all in one place, 
 so that they can be controlled together and a max number of connections 
 could be set.
