Is there a bittorrent client included in KnoppMyth R5F27?
If not, which one is the easiest to apt-get (an will not harm/modify/clobber the default packages).

I'm also interested in a text-only BT client AND server. I'd love to be able to serve up KM distros from my KM box while it's not otherwise busy. It seems like a way of giving KM the ability to reproduce itself, making it the first distro which is fully "alive".  _________________ Do you code to live, or live to code?

I installed TorrentFlux on my MBE. Although GUI driven, it's easy. I made an entry on my KnoppMyth index.html page for it so I can access it without typing in the URL. A search of these forums should produce instructions.

So, the answer is there is no bittorrent client included in KnoppMyth?
(By the way, it appears that TorrentFlux is no longer under development.)

Why does it have to be included? With an Internet connection, you have choices and a one-liner between you and your torrent software.
"sudo apt-get install bittornado-gui"
I'd imagine we can't be seen to be encouraging video torrents since they're mostly not 100% legal.

It was just a simple question. While no one has answered directly, it appears that the answer is "no, there is not a bittorrent client included with KnoppMyth". Thanks for the suggestion of BitTornado... I have used it before with success.

Miro (formerly known as Democracy Player) is an open-source Internet TV application that combines a media player and library, content guide, video search engine, as well as podcast and BitTorrent clients.

Hi all,
I use Azureus in console mode, this runs on very minimal memory. I also run the Swing UI plugin that gives a web based interface for managing the torrent. I like azureus because of the flexibility it has. The console mode keeps the resources down considerablely.
