Overview
This manual page documents briefly the btdownloadgui command.
This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.
btdownloadgui is a GUI interface to download torrents.
btdownloadgui will open a provided torrent URL or file and download it until complete. It will then seed (upload) the torrent until it is stopped.
