Internet:Torrent downloads

From Internet Tablet Talk

The only torrent app ported to the 770 is a command line version called ctorrent.

This process was taken from iTt Apps Forum entry. Many thanks to Henry for porting ctorrent to Maemo!

1. If you haven't already done so, install xterm by following the Using xterm wiki.
2. Download the ctorrent installer package from www.xs4all.nl
3. Install the package by selecting Applicaton Installer from the Control Panel and selecting the deb file downloaded in the previous step.
4. To use ctorrent, open an xterm session (from extras)
5. save a torrent file to a directory (normally on /media/mmc1/yoursubdir)
6. change to that directory by typing cd /media/mmc1/yoursubdir
7. ensure that you have an active network connection, since ctorrent will not start the network connection automatically.
8. type /var/lib/install/usr/bin/ctorrent -p 6881 <torrent file> and press enter
9. several messages will scroll by on the screen and the file will download the the current directory.
10. ctorrent will continue to seed. to exit use the xterm menu option to send ctrl+c to kill ctorrent.

In OS2008 you can use the Trasmission client

I don't know, if it is in any repositories, but it can be downloaded from the maemo Garage:
