Raw Notes on BitTorrent
# The package for slackware-10.0 is in the extra directory, and thus is not installed # by default. Patrick V objected to the dependence on wxGTK and wxPython in # the default GUI and only compiled it with the curese interface. Patrick's # readme file in extra/bittorrent is very good. # also the readme in /usr/doc/BitTorrent is good. # Here are the main download python scripts: /usr/bin/btdownloadxterm.sh /usr/bin/btdownloadcurses.py /usr/bin/btdowbloadlibrary.py /usr/bin/btdownloadheaderless.py # /etc/mailcap is one way of tying mime types to which applications they should # run. # /etc/mailcap looks like this: application/x-bittorrent; /usr/bin/btdownloadxterm.sh '%s' ; # this is all that's required to get mozilla to respond directly to torrent links. # to do things manually, download the .torrent file corresponding to what you want # to download then run btdownloadcurses.py on it like this: btdownloadcurese.py file.torrent # it works like a charm. # clinet inbound ports used 6881-6999 # client outbound ports 6969 (the trackers listen on ports 6969, in other words)
