Free bittorrent software for linux

QTorrent is a BitTorrent client that uses the Qt widget-set. QTorrent allows you to have several torrents open at the same time from within the same program window, offering you easy overview, access and management through a list-mode.

Every torrent also has its own page where you can control things like upload speed and upload slots. A page that shows some statistics of all open torrents is also available.

To use QTorrent, just download the tarball, extract it somewhere and run the qtorrent binary. Installing QTorrent is not necessary.

cfv is a utility to both test and create .sfv, .csv, .crc, .md5(sfv-like), md5sum, bsd md5, sha1sum, and .torrent files. These files are commonly used to ensure the correct retrieval or storage of data.
cfv is written in python, and as such should run on all platforms python supports. Currently, it has been verified to work on linux, freebsd, openbsd, netbsd, solaris, macosx, and windows.
Main features:
- supports testing and creating of .sfv, .csv(2, 3, and 4 field variants), .crc, sfvmd5(sfv file using md5 instead of crc32), md5sum, bsd md5, sha1sum, and BitTorrent file formats
- test-only support for PAR and PAR2 files
- automatic checksum file naming ability in create mode
- recursive operation
- show unverified files option
- ignore case and fix path seperator options for cross platform use
- transparent gzip support for checksum files
- configurable renaming of bad files (with testing against previous bad files, to save only unique differing copies)
- searching for/fixing of misnamed files
- raw listing of files of specified type (bad, missing, etc)
- test suite to ensure correct operation

Torrent Bubbles is an easy-to-use BitTorrent utility program which can search for torrents on the Web.

Anatomic P2P is a BitTorrent Client written in GTK with an extension enabling decentralisation.

Armangils vodcatcher is a video podcast (or vodcast) client for the command line. Armangils vodcatcher project provides several download strategies (new shows only, allowed, back-catalog, etc), supports BitTorrent, offers cache management, and generates playlists for video player applications. It is written in Ruby, and runs on Linux (tested), Windows, MacOS and many other operating systems.

To watch video podcasts, simply type something like vodcatcher subscriptions.opml > latest.m3u. This will download the subscribed shows into the current directory and generate an M3U playlist named latest.m3u.

This application accepts one or more feeds (RSS or Atom) or subscription lists (OPML or iTunes PCAST) as argument, in the form of URLs or filenames. Alternatively, it tries to read one such document from the standard input.

For help, use vodcatcher -h.

Options:

-F, --Function FUNCTION used function (download search );
when using the search function (which
generates an OPML document), the only
relevant options are -v, -r and -f
(default value: download)

-d, --dir DIR Query for caching files
and storing application state
(default value: current directory)

-s, --size SIZE Size of media file cache in MB;
0 means infinite; default value is 500

-m, --memsize N Remember last N downloaded media files,
and do not download them again;
0 means infinite; default value is 1000

-t, --type TYPE Playlist type (m3u smil pls asx tox xspf )
(default value: m3u)

-S, --strategy S Strategy to use for downloading vodcasts
(new one back_catalog all cache ):
* back_catalog: download any show that
has not been downloaded before; prefer
the most recent shows of top-most feeds
in the OPML/PCAST documents.
* new: ignore vodcast back-catalogs; this
is like back_catalog, except that only the
most recent show of each feed is
considered.
* one: download one unlistened show of
each feed, with a preference for recent
shows
* all: download all show; even already
downloaded shows are downloaded once
again.
* cache: play shows that are already in
cache (default value: new)

-f, --feeds N Do not download more than N feeds
(when using the download function);
or return the first N relevant feeds
(when using the search function);
0 means no limits (default value: 1000)

-r, --retries N Try downloading files (media, RSS/Atom or
or OPML/PCAST) at most N times before
giving up (default value: 1)

-T, --Torrentdir DIR Copy torrent files to directory DIR;
handling torrents through an external
BitTorrent client is left to the user;
if this option is not used, torrents are
handled internally (if RubyTorrent is
installed), or else ignored

-U, --Uploadrate N Maximum upload rate (kilobytes per second)
for the internal BitTorrent client
(default: no limit)

-i, --itemsize N If a downloaded show is less than N MB in
size (where N is an integer), fetch other
shows of that same feed until this size is
reached (default: 0)

-p, --[no-]perfeed Create one subfolder per feed in cache

-c, --[no-]cache Play already cached files,
DEPRECATED (use -S cache)

-e, --[no-]empty Delete all previously downloaded
files

-a, --[no-]asif Do not download media files
(useful for testing)

-v, --[no-]verbose Run verbosely

--version Display current version

-h, --help Show this message

Usage examples:

vodcatcher -d ~/vodcasts feeds.opml http://host/second.opml > latest.m3u

vodcatcher -d ~/vodcasts -S cache > cache.m3u

cat feeds.opml | vodcatcher -d ~/vodcasts > latest.m3u

vodcatcher -vd ~/vodcasts -s 500 -m 10_000 -t asx feeds.opml > latest.asx

vodcatcher -vF search -f 44 video vlog http://www.podfeed.net/opml/directory.opml > results.opml
