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

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:*
