| 35 | .Sh DESCRIPTION |
|---|
| 36 | The |
|---|
| 37 | .Nm |
|---|
| 38 | program is a lightweight BitTorrent client with a simple, intuitive |
|---|
| 39 | GTK+ interface. |
|---|
| 40 | .Pp |
|---|
| 41 | BitTorrent is a peer-to-peer file transfer protocol which uses a |
|---|
| 42 | torrent metainfo file (usually with the .torrent file extension) and a |
|---|
| 43 | central tracker to distribute file data amongst a group of peers. For |
|---|
| 44 | more information on the BitTorrent protocol see |
|---|
| 45 | http://www.bittorrent.org/ |
|---|
| 46 | .Pp |
|---|
| 47 | The options are as follows: |
|---|
| 48 | .Bl -tag -width Ds |

| 58 | .Pp |
|---|
| 59 | Only one instance of |
|---|
| 60 | .Nm |
|---|
| 61 | may run at one time. Multiple torrent files may be loaded at startup |
|---|
| 62 | by adding them to the command line. If |
|---|
| 63 | .Nm |
|---|
| 64 | is already running, those torrents will be opened in the running |
|---|
| 65 | instance. |
