Silly question - I downloaded this, but I'm unsure how to launch it! It does not appear in the menu, do you just tpe btpd in terminal or similar?

Here is a quick start guide that may help.  First download a torrent file, say /home/tc/myfile.torrent.  Then open up btpd:

$ btpd -p 12345 --bw-out 200 --max-peers 40

That will start the btpd process on port 12345, limit outgoing bandwidth to 200kB/s, and limit the number of peers to 40.  Now to download the file.

$ btcli add -d myfile.torrent.d /home/tc/myfile.torrent

Will download the torrent and start seeding.  Adding --no-start to the options will download but not start the torrent.  To stop btpd, use the command "killall btpd".

I will add these instructions to the info file, as well as a link to a complete manual for all the options.
