Download torrents using command line in linux
I have been using btdownload-curses for some time to download torrents form linux command line. Recently for some reason it kept failing. Upon investigation I found out that rtorrent is a much better option. In ubuntu installing it is as simple as sudo apt-get install rtorrent.
Had some problems installing it in CentOS 5.5. Finally I found a couple of rpms which could save you the headache. Get the rpms. For some reason I couldn't install them directly using rpm command.
wget http://packages.sw.be/libsigc++20/libsigc++20-2.0.17-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm
wget http://packages.sw.be/libtorrent/libtorrent-0.12.5-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm
wget http://packages.sw.be/rtorrent/rtorrent-0.8.6-2.el5.rf.i386.rpm
Install them using rpm -Uvh in the same order as above.
