jolan d4c53bd411 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.

BitTorrent on OpenBSD can only be used via the headless or curses
interfaces, as there is currently no in-tree port of wxPython.  To begin
using BitTorrent quickly, simply fetch a torrent file and run
btdownloadcurses.py:

$ ftp http://www.somesite.com/some.torrent
$ btdownloadcurses.py 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:*
