Command Line Interface

1. Start a daemon:

    torrent_cli.py start &
   

2. (optional) Look at a list of files in a torrent you want to download:

    torrent_cli.py show ~/Torrents/debian-8.3.0-i386-netinst.iso.torrent
   

3. Specify a download directory and add the torrent to the daemon:

    torrent_cli.py add ~/Torrents/debian-8.3.0-i386-netinst.iso.torrent -d ~/Downloads
   

   If the torrent contains more than one file, you can select which files you want to download using --include and --exclude options. For more information run:

    torrent_cli.py add --help
   

4. Watch torrent status:

    watch torrent_cli.py status
   

   Add -v to increase output verbosity.

   You also can add more torrents, pause, resume, and remove them. For more information run:

    torrent_cli.py --help
   

5. To stop the daemon run:

    torrent_cli.py stop
   

   The daemon will restore its state after restart.
