Bittorrent command line launch many curses
October 18th, 2007 Posted in computingWith the python Bittorrent client you can seed or download multiple torrents at a time and set max parameters for the group of torrents. For example with the command below I have limited uploads to 2,000 KB/sec (~16mbit/sec).
launchmany-curses –torrent_dir /home2/torrentdirectory –save_in /home2/whereiwantthetorrentdownloads –max_upload_rate 2000 –max_uploads 1500
If you have a dedicated server with a monthly bandwidth allowance why not download some legal torrents and help seed with your excess bandwidth. This is a great way to give back to the open source community, and it doesn’t cost you anything.
