 |
|
| I use azurues. Is there anyway to check the status of my torrents over ssh? To be able to start them with ssh would be cool too. I've heard of btmanycurses or something like that....but I have no idea what it is or how it works. |

Not that I am aware, you could look at torrentflux.com. It's a web based Bittorrent client and kinda spiffy.

If you like using the command line (and it sounds like you do), then a combination of 'screen' and the 'bittorrent' tools is exactly what you are looking for. First:
| Code: |
emerge screen bittorrent
|
The bittorrent package includes a number of tools for connecting to torrents, although I prefer the console (curses) based versions as the gui forms have problems. This works out good for you. If you log into your computer using ssh, then you can use screen (a tool for opening virtual terminals that can be disconnected and continue functioning even if the connection fails) and btlaunchmanycurses.py:
| Code: |
> screen
> btlaunchmanycurses.py /path/to/your/torrent/files
|
This will launch a torrent download on every .torrent file in the specified directory. You can then use 'Ctrl+A D' (that is two separate key strokes) to disconnect from the process but leave in running, log out, etc. To check the status of your download just log back into that computer and type:
This would reconnect you to the disconnected screen and your running torrent download. Hope this helps. |
