Install only bittorrent for now:
aptitude install bittorrent
Then get a torrent file:
http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/4.0_r0/i386/bt-cd/debian-40r0-i386-netinst.iso.torrent
Then try this command:
btdownloadheadless debian-40r0-i386-businesscard.iso.torrent
The output of this command is very odd to me. I'm using notes from here to make this command:
btlaunchmany /srv/torrents/active/ --max_upload_rate 10 > /var/log/bittorrent/torrent_activity.log 2>&1 &
I'm sort of confused as to how this works, but at least its a start.
