Re: Adding a (non default) route via rc.conf

in rc.conf, put something like this: static_routes=legacy route_legacy=-net 192.168.2 192.168.1.150 the static_routes line is a list of network names that you want to put routes in for, then each name gets its own route_name line. As for your sanity check, I don't see why it would be a problem.

I'd recommend transmission. You can get the source from http://transmission.m0k.org/. You can configure it for console use with ./configure --disable-gtk gmake. It needs GNU make, BSD make won't work. Uses very little resources as it's written in C, so your python port won't matter. On
