Just drop the torrent into workdir/autoload . Bitflu will pickup new files each 5 minutes
Place the torrent on your disc and run 'load /path/to/torrent.torrent' Bitflu can also (sometimes) directly load torrent files via http. Just run:
'load http://wwww.example.com/foo.torrent'
Bitflu also understands magnet URIs
'load magnet:?xt=urn:btih:640fe84c613c17f663551d218689a64e8aebeabe&dn=slackware-12.2-dvd-iso'
Just use the upload button
Just run the 'vd' (ViewDownloads) command and you'll get a list with all downloads:
bitflu> vd *** Upload: 0.01 KiB/s | Download: 4.32 KiB/s | Peers: 3/ 10 [Type] Name /================ Hash ================\ Peers Pieces Done (MB) Done Ratio Up Down [ bt ] Name of the Download 1237a496e9daaa6a286435aeb893871bb9987801 3/10 109/ 1930 13.6/ 241.1 5% 1.57 4.0 6.3
The hash is also called the queue_id and is needed for certain commands. (FYI: The Hash is the same as the torrents info_hash)
Just run:
cancel queue_id
Completed (marked as yellow) torrents will just get removed from the queue: The data will remain on your disc. If the torrent was incomplete, bitflu will also remove the data. Note: You can also pause a torrent! See 'help pause' and 'help resume'
