I looked at btlaunchmanycurses, and it looked pretty cool, but the manpage and documentation are severely lacking. So maybe you can answer my question: I know that you can add torrent files to the directory at runtime and btlaunchmany* will periodically rescan the directory for new torrents and, if found, add them. But if you remove a .torrent from the directory, will it stop seeding the torrent? Or do I have to kill the whole session to stop seeding the latest gentoo/sarge iso?
