I am such a noob i've only downloaded one file so far but for linux ncurses
(no xwindow just using a shell)
*** rTorrent 0.7.1 - libTorrent 0.11.1 ***

seems to work OK
see http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/

oo they have an Ubuntu package too

So now I want to make a torrent in linux using only the shell. Turns out rTorrent doesn't make em, just gets em. I found a *really* easy program called createtorrent from http://www.createtorrent.com/

you just type createtorrent -a useekfile.com -p 2710 <filetoadd> <filetoadd.torrent>

done!
