It was a bit confusing. I found btdownloadgui, btdownloadcurses, and btdownloadheadless. A man of those says to (eg.): btdownloadcurses URL So, cd somewhere you have space, and: btdownloadcurses http://ftp.acc.umu.se/pub/cd-images/debian-weekly/torrents/ ... The first time I tried it, I was in my home dir, which didn't have enough space to hold it. I C-c'd out, cd'd to where I did have space, copied what it had got so far, then re-ran the command. It checked the existing file, then continued on from where I'd C-c'd No idea what btdownloadheadless means, and btdownloadgui complained about python for me too. If you read the Wired article, it mentions good reasons (health related) for his missing small details like usability and documentation. -- Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
