rTorrent Frequently Asked Questions This is the user FAQ for Rakshasa's BitTorrent client. RTorrent is an ncurses based client that uses libTorrent and is written in C++. Efficiency and good code is the main goal of both projects. How do I add new torrents while the client is running? Use the backspace key to enter file input mode. The bottom line will change into a prompt which allows you to enter URL's or file paths to torrents. File name completion and directory listing is supported with the tab key. How does the session feature work? When you start the client you can use the "-s" switch to specify a session directory. The client will save all currently running torrents in the session directory and fast resume data will be written when the client exits. Upon restarting the client it will resume all the torrents in the session directory. Note that the filenames must be in the ".torrent" format.
