Headless torrent downloads with rTorrent and Screen

Thu, 12 Jun 2008 08:00:00 GMT
I have a constantly running server that would be a perfect on which to run torrent downloads. The only catch is that the server is headless -- it has no monitor or keyboard. To overcome this obstacle, I use rTorrent as my torrent client, and GNU Screen so that I can disconnect my terminal session and leave rTorrent running.
