I would suggest using the python bittorrent client. OK, tried /usr/ports/net/py-bittorrent This is Working :-) btdownloadheadless.py *torrent pulling in at a steady 56 kB/s (my DSL s rated @ 768K nominal inward) Nikolas Britton wrote: > Also do you have port 6881 open on the firewall?

I only perseverd with ctorrent 'cos I recall someone else on this list said they'd just used it succesfully, I guess they used a different rev. to my FreeBS-5.3-Rel based rev. > I personally am using Azureus, from ports. OK, I see /pub/FreeBSD/branches/-current/ports/net/azureus not in 5.3-release & "only for i386" so noted for later thanks. "Michael W. Oliver" wrote: http://www.torrentflux.com/ ...
