| I was just curious, when I open Azueues and I look at my processes that are running 26 Javas running. Is this normal...or necissary? |

its normal and necessary if you are going to use a bloaty client like azureus
I recommend gnu screen + btlaunchmanycurses
and bittornado is a nice drop-in replacement for the official client |

1. http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2004/3/9/16838/14935
If you end up using multiple windows (C-a C-c to create, C-a C-n and C-a C-p for next/prev) then try this in your ~/.screenrc
| Code: | termcapinfo xterm* 'hs:ts=\E]0;:fs=\007:ds=\E]0;\007'
defhstatus "screen ^E - ^Et"
hardstatus off
caption string '%-Lw%{= BW}%50>%n%f* %t%{-}%+Lw%<'
caption always |
Screen has many, many cool applications, not the least of which is making sure your emerges and torrents can run in the background uninterrupted.
I usually use it like this:
| Code: | screen -xR <name> # I usually use "emerge" for the <name>
nice emerge -uDNa world
Ctrl+A, then press D
screen -xR <name> # from any terminal, to check on the progress |
And for torrents:
| Code: | screen -xR tor
cd /path/with/many/.torrent/files/in/it
btlaunchmanycurses.py .
C-a d |
C-a Shift-F will resize the window, which is really handy when you re-attach with full window apps like btlaunchmanycurses.
2. Indeed, many bt* clients come with bittorrent (or the improved drop-in replacement, bittornado) |

| Seems very confusing. I don't really see the need for the program. won't Konsole do the same thing? |

Hah, Konsole is nowhere near as resilient. Can you honestly say that you've never accidentally closed a running emerge?
Run a screen inside a console. Start an emerge. Close the console. Heck, log out of X. Come back and screen -xR (or do it from an Ctrl+Alt+F# virtual terminal, even)
it's perfect for programs that need to run uninterrupted for long periods of time, like emerge and torrents. |
