Bittorrent instructions / procedures etc.

[Chris Mermagen]

Tim-
 There is a front end for it, though people on the list have already posted 
their methods of using the command console. I had issues getting the front 
end to work nicely myself, so I just went to an all-java based route: 
azureus. 
 http://azureus.sourceforge.net/
 pretty nice little system, all gui based, intuitive. Good luck-
 Chris
