go read docs on ctorrent website. all is explained in detail. Basically, find a *.torrent file, then run ' torrent whatever-name.torrent '. Spice it up with cli options.

Re: how to really use Ctorrent?
You need to have the full directory name.
If your file is in /usr/home/torret.torrent, then you need to type : ctorrent /usr/home/torrent.torrent |

ctorrent /usr/home/documents/torrent_file_name.torrent ???? If thats correct I still get the same error "No such file or directory error,initial meta info failed." |
Re: how to really use Ctorrent?
Ok i managed to get it to work my file was in Document folder so i typed:
ctorrent /home/user/MyDocs/Torrent_file_name.torrent Ok my next problem is that i can't pick the location for the torrent file to be downloaded in case i wanna use my memory card but i can't, when the torrent starts to download i can't type anything to change the file location, does any body know how to do this thanks! |
Re: how to really use Ctorrent?
I'am not really sure because i dont have used ctorrent, but I guess it would download files in your current directory where you have launched ctorrent. At least rtorrent does like that.

Re: how to really use Ctorrent?
What's the default location for ctorrent to save the torrent files? anyone knows?
becuase when i finshed downloading the torrent file, I couldn't find it anywhere in any directory. |
Re: how to really use Ctorrent?
It's going to download where ever the *.torrent file is located. The way I do it is to move the torrent file to one of my sd cards, then do the download thing.
