Bittorrent at the command line

digitalgravy · 04-20-2004, 01:35 PM

I am using bittorrent-3.2.1b-6mdk on my Mandrake box. I am using the rpm that was on their cd.

I want to telnet into my linux box ahd have it download the torrents.

How can I start torrents at the command prompt?

Can I have more that one torrent download at a time? (I guess that I can if I move the torrent to the background, right?)

Thanks in advance.
