It will only rehash on startup if you are the initial seeder AFAIR.

Hello,

Could you make some suggestion for a good openbsd (bit)torrent client
with or without GUI ? I know some names, but I want to have some user
experience presented.

Thanks.

KTorrent works well for me for about a year.

Just try and find what best suits your needs:

$ cd /usr/ports  make search key=torrent

net/btpd

Without GUI, a small console client that runs as daemon. Perfect for
remote operation. No need for screen!

And for building .torrent files have a look at the new mktorrent port
(posted some days ago on ports@)

I don't know about -current...
with 4.4, rtorrent-0.7.9 and libtorrent-0.11.9 (packages) works
perfectly for me.

I use rtorrent.  This is a console based client , check the ports.  It
works fine and has many features and views.  The only problem I have
with it is that everytime you start the client it rehashes all of your
files.  It does this even if the option to rehash complete files is
set to off or no in the .rtorrent.rc file in ~   which can a pita if
