I just started using rTorrent recently, and discovered that it's pretty much exactly what I want from a CLI/console BitTorrent client so far. -- Chad Perrin [ content licensed PDL: http://pdl.apotheon.org ] Marvin Minsky: "It's just incredible that a trillion-synapse computer could actually spend Saturday afternoon watching a football game." pgpTdYAbjN3Dd.pgp Description: PGP signature

You might also consider mldonkey, which does the the file sharing via a daemon (mlnet) which you can connect to via various methods, including telnet, a web interface, and several GUI applications. It's primarily an ed2k client and its BT support isn't very sophisticated, but it does have the advantage that the daemon will start from rc.d and run in the background without any manual intervention. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Hi all. Ok, I'm curious of something. I've done torrents before via the graphical interface before, but I want to setup a way to download isos and various FOSS apps via bittorrent, but I want to do it via the console so I can start a torrent in screen and then walk away, allowing my server to finish the work without having to leave my main workstation running to do the work like I normally do. I'm using bittornado right now, and if there's a way to do this, I'd love to know how. I run bittornado's btlaunchmany.py script through screen (sysutils/screen) for the very reason you describe. It's been working great for years. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

It was called 'btdownload.curses' I think. It's possible it is all ready installed or is available via ports. Another possibility is to run a GUI client in a VNC session. I do this with Azureus and am quite pleased with it. --Andrew ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

F1 (vote yes) to rtorrent. I have rtorrents running permanently on my servers, seeding torrent files. I use screen, just like you suggest.
