It's CLI, but easy to learn and use. Far more efficient, takes a sixth or less of the CPU resources even with a bunch of torrents active as well as less memory than ktorrent. rtorrent uses libtorrent, both written in C++ with an emphasis on speed and efficiency, while delivering equivalent features to GUI based clients in a ncurses based client. Benefits are you can run it in a screen session and it persists even if you log out of your PC, or possibly have to reset your X session as well as accessing remotely via SSH. http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/ -- Jason Turning -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
