Download files via bittorrent

Usage

unworkable [-s] [-g port] [-p port] [-t tracefile] torrent

Overview

The unworkable program is used to download files via the BitTorrent protocol.

When unworkable is executed with a valid .torrent file as an argument, it will proceed to announce to the tracker, connect to peers and download the data. Upon completion of the download, the program will exit, unless seed-mode is enabled.

-g port

If specified, run the GUI control server on port port. By default, no GUI control server will run.

-p port

If specified, listen for incoming BitTorrent peer connections on port. By default, unworkable does not accept incoming connections.

-s

Enable seed-mode, that is, keep running and seed after download is complete.

-t tracefile

Trace execution, outputting to tracefile.
