Commandline BitTorrent
rtorrent is a command line bit torrent client for unix-based systems. It’s relatively simple to use. To install:
- on Suse I was unable to find anything in the repo’s. So i grabbed the source from here
- rpm -Uvh rtorrent-0.7.6-1.1.i586.rpm
- rpm -Uvh libtorrent-0.11.6-1.1.i586.rpm
(both packages are available at the link above)
Usage
To simply download a torrent do the following:
rtorrent http://extratorrent.com/download/666052/openSUSE-10+2-GM-DVD-i386-iso.torrent
For further options see the man page and the user guide.
