Description

rTorrent is a powerful command line-based BitTorrent client written in C++. It is a free and open-source application used for downloading torrents, sharing files, and managing torrents. It is lightweight and written to run on Unix-like systems, such as Linux, FreeBSD, and Mac OS X. rTorrent runs directly from the command line, and offers features such as support for downloading multiple torrents at once, support for downloading sequentially, support for watch directories, and support for setting up a web-based GUI (graphical user interface). It also supports DHT (Distributed Hash Table), Peer Exchange, and RSS feed reading. rTorrent is highly efficient and can be used for both downloading and uploading torrents. It is designed to be both user-friendly and powerful. It can also be used to control remote clients from a central repository.
