To begin using BitTorrent quickly, simply fetch a torrent file and
run bittorrent (X11) or bittorrent-curses:

$ ftp http://www.somesite.com/some.torrent
$ bittorrent-curses some.torrent

Note that for machines behind NAT, you will need to pass in the ports
outlined in README.txt.  An example pf.conf stub for doing this is:

rdr on $ext_if inet proto tcp from any to $ext_ip port 6881:6889 -> \
	$BitTorrentmachine port 6881:*

If a torrent contains many files or the client has connections to
many peers, it may be necessary to increase the limit on the maximum
number of open file descriptors per process (ulimit -n).
Update to 4.1.6. Attention, all executable names have changed. 2005-10-18 10:12:35 -04:00			`# $OpenBSD: README.OpenBSD,v 1.4 2005/10/18 14:12:35 naddy Exp $`
import of BitTorrent-3.2.1b: BitTorrent is a tool for distributing files. Whenever more than one person is downloading at once they send pieces of the file(s) to each other, thus relieving the central server's bandwidth burden. Even with many simultaneous downloads, the upload burden on the central server remains quite small, since each new downloader introduces new upload capacity. thanks to jose@ for review/suggestions 2003-08-20 23:39:57 -04:00
