Bittorrent itself, or bittornado which is a slightly improved version. They're written in python and trivial to install. > I've used public torrents before but assumed you needed a > tracker or something - or is that just for sharing them with the > public? You do need a tracker, but "bttrack" comes with bittorrent or bittornado and works just fine. You can launch it from the command line in seconds. You also need to create a .torrent file, which you do with "btmakemetafile", which also comes with the bittorrent or bittornado package. -- Perry E.
