Torrent probably is the most used program after Terminal for movie-buffs who also happened to be the linux users like me 😛 . This post shows how to use terminal for downloading torrent instead of using separate program for it.
Command-line application rTorrent does the job of downloading torrent in terminal itself.
Instructions:
1.Open the Terminal.
2.Download rTorrent using the command in terminal in debian based systems.
sudo apt-get install rtorrent
3.After installing rTorrent open it using the command rtorrent in terminal. It opens rTorrent UI.
