A quick way to do this would be to download the .torrent files from the OOo bittorrent site (http://borft.student.utwente.nl:6969/) and leaving them open in the bittorrent client of you choice. I use ctorrent (http://ctorrent.sourceforge.net/). Start a screen session, open each torrent in a separate screen, and let 'em run. By default, ctorrent only keeps the torrent open for 72 hours; you can override this on the command line to set an arbitrary duration or even leave it open indefinitely. -- John ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
