Linux > Command line BitTorrent client

Posted on in Categories Linux, RedHat/Fedora Linux, Shell scripting, Suse Linux, Tip of the day, Tips, Ubuntu Linux, UNIX last updated March 14, 2005

BitTorrent is the name of a peer-to-peer (P2P) file distribution protocol, and of a free software implementation of that protocol.

The BitTorrent client is a computer program developed by BitTorrent, Inc. used to download and upload files via the BitTorrent protocol. You can download python based command line BitTorrent client download for Linux/BSD/Mac OS X/UNIX link oses. This is quite useful, if you would like to download file remotely over SSH session. bittorrent.com offers bittorrent client in .deb (Debian Linux) or rpm (RedHat/Fedora Core/CentOS Linux) file formats.

To use the bittorrent in command line one you need to use command bittorrent-console or bittorrent-curses (see below for examples).

Step # 1: Find Python version

Make sure you download file according to your python version. Type following command to find out python version:
$ python -V
Output:

Python 2.4.2

Step # 2: Download bittorrent client

Use wget to download bittorrent client

Download bittorrent client for Debian Linux:

$ wget http://download.bittorrent.com/dl/bittorrent_5.0.3_python2.4.deb

Download bittorrent clientFor Red Hat / Fedora Core / Cent OS Linux

$ wget http://download.bittorrent.com/dl/BitTorrent-5.0.3-1-Python2.4.noarch.rpm

Step # 3: Linux Install BitTorrent client

First login as a root user (use su or sudo command). If you are using Debian Linux, use dpkg command install bittorrent client
# dpkg -i bittorrent_5.0.3_python2.4.deb
If you are using Red Hat / Fedora Core /Cent OS Linux, use rpm command install bittorrent client:
# rpm -ivh BitTorrent-5.0.3-1-Python2.4.noarch.rpm

Step # 4: Start using or downloading files

Use bittorrent client as follows:
$ /usr/bin/bittorrent-curses 'http://www.some.org/DesktopBSD.iso.torrent'
OR
$ bittorrent-curses 'http://www.some.org/DesktopBSD.iso.torrent'
OR
$ /usr/bin/bittorrent-curses '/path/to/file.torrent'
You can try out pure console based client bittorrent-console instead of curses based client:
$ bittorrent-console '/path/to/file.torrent'
$ /usr/bin/bittorrent-console 'http://www.some.org/DesktopBSD.iso.torrent'

Tips about using and Troubleshooting BitTorrent client

(A) If you get [Errno 2] No such file or directory, you need to use wget or lynx command to download .torrent file to local hard drive first. For example
$ bittorrent-curses 'http://www.mininova.org/get/some_file[222].torrent'
First download download .torrent file using any one of the following method:
$ lynx 'http://www.mininova.org/get/some_file[222].torrent'
When prompted save .torrent file to a hard-disk. Another option is use wget to download .torrent file:
$ wget 'http://www.mininova.org/get/some_file[222].torrent'
Now start the downloading as follows:
$ bittorrent-curses 'some_file[222].torrent'

(B) If you get error ‘This seems to be an old Python version which does not support detecting the filesystem encoding. Assuming ‘ascii’, then upgrade your python version to 2.4.xx:

Debian user upgrade python version using apt-get command:
# apt-get update
# apt-get install python2.4

Red Hat Linux user try out:
# up2date python2.4
Fedora Linux user try out:
# yum install python2.4

Remember if you have both versions (python v2.3 and v2.4) installed, you need to run bittorent client as follows:
$ python2.4 /usr/bin/bittorrent-curses '/path/to/file.torrent'
Command line BitTorrent client should work with other UNIX like operating systems such as FreeBSD/OpenBSD/Solaris etc (as long as you have Python it should work).

The current client enables a range of features including multiple parallel downloads. It also intermediates peering between itself, source file servers (read as trackers) and other clients, thereby yielding great distribution efficiencies. The client also enables users to create and share torrent files. See help files for more information.

  5. Also use btdownloadheadless.py (or curses) by itself to get the help output. Various command switches are taken. –max_upload_rate $INT –super-seeder $BOOLEAN – etc.

  7. Very nice post, but i screwd it somehow 🙁
    Here’s the error i got:
    Traceback (most recent call last):
    File “/usr/bin/btdownloadheadless.py”, line 24, in ?
    from BitTorrent.download import Feedback, Multitorrent

  8. > ImportError: No module named BitTorrent.download

    I had that error on my box and found this problem/solution:
    – /usr/lib/python a link to /usr/lib/python2.2
    – /usr/lib/python2.3 had been created during rpm install of BitTorrent and contained nothing but a dir /site-packages (belonging to BitTorrent
    – copying that directory to /python2.2 fixed the problem

    have fun

  10. Your post helps a lot.

    I have tried using the command ./btdownloadcurse.py. I found that it is not possible to have it run as a background job ! Why ? Is it possible to run bittorrent jobs, either d/l or u/l in background ?

  12. Another question, I got a warning (guess it is not an error) saying that :
    [13:57:00] Python failed to autodetect filesystem encoding. Using ‘ascii’ instead.

    What should I do ?

    Reply Report comment

  15. It should be in /usr/bin/ directory. Try as follows:

    $ cd /usr/bin
    $ ./btdownloadheadless.py path/to/file.torrent

    You can also use following trick to find out path to btdownloadheadless.py
    # dpkg –contents btclientfile.deb | grep btdownloadheadless.py

  24. I can’t seem to get this to work. I keep getting:
    Traceback (most recent call last):
    File “/usr/bin/bittorrent-curses”, line 18, in ?
    from BitTorrent.platform import install_translation
    ImportError: No module named BitTorrent.platform

    If I check the python version with python -V I get Python 2.4.2

    I have tried running the bittorrent command as both python and python2.4 and get the same error in both cases.

    In /usr/local/bin I can see 2 files:
    python & python2.4 both with the same size and timestamp.

    In /usr/lib I have a python2.2 directory and a python2.4 directory.

    The python2.2 directory has a whole bunch of files in it, while the python2.4 directory only has a site-packages directory.

    I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling both python2.4 and bittorrent with no success so far.

    Any suggestions?

  25. Run it as follows:

    python2.4 /usr/bin/bittorrent-curses ‘/path/to/file.torrent’

    OR

    python2.4 /usr/bin/bittorrent-curses ‘http://somewhere.com/file.torrent’

    >The python2.2 directory has a whole bunch of files in it, while the python2.4 directory only has a site-packages directory.

    Hmm i have more than 500+ files in /usr/lib .. try to install python-all. If you are using Debian then it is really easy:
    apt-get install python2.4

    Above command should install all files.

  26. Hi,
    It works, if you have this:
    –
    File “/usr/bin/bittorrent-curses”, line 18, in ?
    from BitTorrent.platform import install_translation
    ImportError: No module named BitTorrent.platform
    –
    Just check if your /usr/bin/python is linked with /usr/bin/python2.4
    if not do:
    1/ rm /usr/bin/python
    2/ ln -s /usr/bin/python2.3 /usr/bin/python

    3/ Enjoy

  28. How do I stop torrents? I mean I have torrents downloading but what do I do (in SSH) to stop that torrent? I can’t seem to get to a command line either, it just keeps showing the information of speeds, % complete etc…

  30. Hi there, and thank you for a nice page.

    I’m getting:
    File “/usr/bin/bittorrent-curses”, line 18, in ?

    and yet am using python2.4, my python is linked to 2.4 and I’ve tried explicitly running it as 2.4 as well… still no joy.

    Any other explanations?

  31. Hi Dan,

    It seems that some problem exists there for Debian if you are looking for GUI client try out azureus bittorent java client. If you don’t wanna use GUI client then above method should work for you.

    Try out:
    python2.4 /usr/bin/bittorrent-curses ‘path/to/bottorent-file’
    azureus

  32. That is what I have been using :S
    none of the /usr/bin/bittorrent* files run, all generate this error.

    btdownloadgui however works fine, but I sometimes wish to start a transfer over ssh.

    Dan.

  33. Ok. I just try out latest .deb file from official site and you are right it is broken. But I was able to run it via source code. Try out following 4 command it should work on any Linux computer.

    Download source code
    wget http://www.bittorrent.com/dl/BitTorrent-4.4.0.tar.gz

    Untar code
    tar -zxvf BitTorrent-4.4.0.tar.gz

    Goto dirctory:
    cd BitTorrent-4.4.00

    Start GUI Client
    ./bittorrent

    Start Console Client
    ./bittorrent-curses

    Let me know if it works or not.

  34. Thank you 🙂

    I had found btdownloadcurses on my machine, that worked as well.

    Note also that an alternative to nohup is screen. You can run a command with screen like:

    screen btdownloadcurses http://www.site.etc/to.torrent

    press ctrl+a then d to detach from the process

    you can then regain control by issueing

    screen -r

  37. How to close the screen completely?

    [[email protected] html]# screen -r
    There are several suitable screens on:
    11809.pts-0.server (Detached)
    20081.pts-0.server (Attached)
    11582.pts-0.server (Detached)
    Type “screen [-d] -r [pid.]tty.host” to resume one of them.

  41. Hi,
    I’d like to set up my console bittorrent to running only in some configured time. For example from 2 to 8 in the night. I now use cron ok no problem. But how to set up time how long launchmany-curses (I’m using it because I’ve a lot of torrent files) have to work ?
    I know I can use kill but then on trackers connections isn’t well ended and I think there must be better way to achive this goal.

    Greetings,
    krutny

  46. Thanks, excellent article.
    I have a couple of doubts, though. I haven’t been able to resume downloading a previously stopped torrent.
    I got this message, only once:

    “These errors occurred during execution:
    [10:56:02] Could not load fastresume data: Another program appears to have modified the file, or BitTorrent may have crashed last time it was run. Will perform full hash check.”

    Do you have any tip for resuming? As it is now, every time I stop it I have to start all over again.

    thanks, Emiliano

  49. I’m searcing for a way to remotely control any bittorrent client by ssh, meaning that I can see the download progress, stop it, add another download, etc.

    Is it possible with the official BitTorrent? Do you know any other torrent client that can do this?

  60. I also have Python 2.4.4 and the only failed dependency is python-zopeinterface, which is needed by BitTorrent-5.0.7-1.noarch.
    I have installed python-zope-interface which it seems is not the same thing. I have tried a python-zopeinterface from FC5 but does not work with my FC6.
    Does anyone else have similar problems?

  61. I want to run effectively a torrent daemon which I can take up and down as I please. However using nohup and running bittorrent-curses in the background doesn’t seem to work. As soon I enter another command bittorrent-curses stops working.

    Any advice?

  63. I found that under Fedora Core 6, the only way to get nohup to cooperate with this was to run the command:

    nohup python /usr/bin/bittorrent-console –display_interval 60 path-to-torrentfile &

    the tricks here being:
    1) You need to set the display interval pretty high so that it doesnt flood your nohup.out with messages.
    2) You need to explicitly execute this with python..

    Thanks,

  74. Hi,

I just scp torrent files to specified directory, and then rm them and scp completed downloads back to my PC. It has worked perfect for me but now I have problem. TPB and other sites are starting to use magnet links. So my question is…
    Do you know any CLI p2p client, that handles magnet links?

  88. Hello, thank you for this info but I can’t seem to make it work. When I tried bittorrent-curses the message was:

    bittorrent-curses: command not found

    I am sure that it is installed. Can you tell me what’s wrong?

    When I tried to install it again, here’s the message:

    sudo apt-get install python-bittorrent
    Reading package lists… Done
    Building dependency tree
    Reading state information… Done
    python-bittorrent is already the newest version.
    0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 3 not upgraded.

    Please help.
