Torrent files can have weird names, you probably have one named
"-- [kewl doodz] -- some dodgy file.torrent". The shell is expanding the
wildcard and passing it to ls, which thinks it is an option. The
standard way of avoiding this is to use "ls -l -- *.torrent". The --
tells ls that there are no more options and everything else is to be
treated as a file.
Works perfectly. Thanks Neil.
