This is the command I used just yesterday to download Knoppix 3.4 via bittorrent. I am behind a NAT. I use Debian Unstable. /usr/bin/btdownloadcurses --max_upload_rate 15 'http://torrent.unix-ag.uni-kl.de:6969/torrent.html?info_hash=ea07c5d44f83e137578bfb4cc44aa2f2a4f086b3' On a side note. I think its alittle annoying that bittorrent has rate limiting for upload but not for download. But I did find a cool program that will rate limit any program called netbrake. So the full command I used was: /usr/bin/netbrake -r 100000000 /usr/bin/btdownloadcurses --max_upload_rate 15 'http://torrent.unix-ag.uni-kl.de:6969/torrent.html?info_hash=ea07c5d44f83e137578bfb4cc44aa2f2a4f086b3' Jay Kline wrote: >Ok- so I tried to use bittorrent again today, and had no luck.
