Command line torrent downloader to get 10.x for suse 9.3?
Thought I'd try and give a bit back :-) whilst downloading 10.0 but the PC I want to download using a torrent is non-gui (a "fileserver" of a sort) and would creak rather (well, very very) badly if I fired up a gui. If I could get one to load in the resources available at all... Is bittorrent a command line option or is it only under x? Is there anything else that is reliable? And, incidentally, how does one call it (bittorrent)? I installed it from a downloaded rpm using Yast but it hasn't shewn on any menu and wasn't exactly forthcoming with telling me what to type in using either alt-f2 or from a shell.... Don't assume much knowledge!!! Cheers

The original BitTorrent program has both a curses and a headless option, called btdownloadcurses.py and btdownloadheadless.py respectively.

try "rpm -ql BitTorrent" (without quotes). This will list all files installed with the BitTorrent package. pin is also your friend, man pin.

We don't, thats what lists, AND GOOGLE is for. (sorry for shouting) ;) Regards Gulli
