How do I do this? (never really used bittorrent before. Mine is

get a torrent client. on linux, I've used cTorrent (small simple
commandline C program) and Azureus (large complex full featured GUI Java
program), give it the .torrent file, and tell it where you want to save
stuff locally and let it rip. the -original- python torrent was rather
primitive and lacked throttle controls.
I suggest throttling it (command line options to ctorrent, and gui
options in azureus) to no more than 80% of your pipe, both Rx and Tx.
you can stop and restart the torrent program at any time, it will resume
where it left off after a minute or so of checking on the status of the
files (block checksumming etc). when starting a torrent, expect it to
take a number of minutes before things get up to full speed. Oh, and
you need to have at least one TCP port open from the outside, and
configure your torrent client to use this (this can be -any- high port
#, there's no preference to the defaults).
