NAME¶
bittorrent-multi-downloader — download multiple files using a
scatter-gather network
SYNOPSIS¶
btlaunchmany [
options ...]
directory
btlaunchmanycurses [
options ...]
directory
DESCRIPTION¶
This manual page documents briefly the
bittorrent-multi-downloader
command.
This manual page was written for the
Debian distribution because the
original program does not have a manual page.
btlaunchmany and
btlaunchmanycurses are programs that ease the use
of bittorrent in multiple-downloader situations. The programs check the
provided
directory for torrent files. When they find any, they start a
separate downloader thread for each torrent file. These programs share a
common set of options, shown below. For more information on how to run them,
and any program-specific options, see their individual man pages.
OPTIONS¶
These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options
starting with two dashes (`--').
In addition to the options shown below, these programs share the same common
options with the normal downloaders, which are documented in
bittorrent-downloader (1).
- --parse_dir_interval seconds
- the number of seconds between re-scanning the provided directory
(defaults to 60)
- --saveas_style 1|2|3
- how to name torrent downloads (1 = rename to torrent name, 2 = save under
name in torrent, 3 = save in directory under torrent name) (defaults to 1
for btlaunchmany, 2 for btlaunchmanycurses)
- --display_path 0|1
- whether to display the full path or the torrent contents for each torrent
(defaults to 1 for btlaunchmany, 0 for
btlaunchmanycurses)
