Ktorrent

KTorrent is the BitTorrent client for KDE.

Installation

Install ktorrent package.

Troubleshooting

Without geoip, KTorrent is unable to show any information about the seeders, leechers and the current trackers. Install it as a dependency. It is advised to enable DHT inside the Settings to avoid slow speeds and low amount of seeders.

Script to manage it in command line

Since KTorrent is a GUI only application, it fortunately has a DBUS interface, so you can use scripts to manage it in command line (i.e. from SSH). See the following linuxquestions forum answer for details.

gollark: There's a difference?!
gollark: That's the generally-Lua things, CC has other ones, and no.
gollark: Lua functions or shell commands?
gollark: No, take out the "*".
gollark: When you do `if input == "Leon"` you haven't actually read any input.
