NAME¶

btdownloadgui — GUI bittorrent download interface

SYNOPSIS¶

btdownloadgui [options ...] URL btdownloadgui [options ...] filename

DESCRIPTION¶

This manual page documents briefly the btdownloadgui command. This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. btdownloadgui is a GUI interface to download torrents. btdownloadgui will open a provided torrent URL or file and download it until complete. It will then seed (upload) the torrent until it is stopped.
