Re: Commandline Torrent Downloader



Check out rtorrent (it's in the extras repo). It allows you to drop
torrents into a directory for automatic downloading, and you can also
set a ratio for it to stop uploading at. It also allows you to
throttle your upload/download speeds on the fly. I used to use
ctorrent, but it hasn't seen any use since I found rtorrent.

I'm looking to find a commandline driven torrent downloader I can run
on my headless guiless server. I know that azureus allows you to drop
torrent files in a directory and it will automatically start the
session up and get things moving, but I was wondering if there is a
similar way to do it with a commandline way? I'd like to automatically
seed back so my share ratio is 1:1 and then delete the torrentfile and
stop seeding, since my isp would have a heart attack because I don't
have unlimited bandwidth.

Thanks.
