Decent Bittorrent-client

Hi!

I''ve searched through the forum (and the rest of the web

without any luck.

I'm looking for a decent Bittorrent-client that I can run from the commandprompt.

I have a slackware-box at my mom's place (10mbit FD). I'm accessing it through SSH so no X environment is available.

Anyone know of a bittorrentclient for the commandprompt that is able to limit the speed (up and down)? So if I want to seed a torrent it wont hog all of my bandwidth.

thanx!

Hi ipren,
you can use the official bittorrent client.
From the FAQ:

How do I limit the amount of bandwidth consumed by BitTorrent?
Use the --max_upload_rate command line parameter, which takes an upload rate in kilobytes/sec.

Good luck,
