FWIW, these are considered "unstable" by the upstream author.

No problem, I'm going to take over. People who are currently using other clients should really look at rtorrent. The user interface isn't pretty (also best seen with >80 columns), but highly functional. rtorrent pros: * Light resource usage. Extremely lightweight compared to the mainline Python monstrosity. * Ability to download only individual files out of a torrent. * Supports UDP trackers. * Scheduling. * NEW: Encryption support. In case your ISP uses packet inspection to recognize BitTorrent connections and throttle their bandwidth. -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber [EMAIL PROTECTED]
