NAME

       bittorrent-multi-downloader — download multiple files using a scatter-gather network

SYNOPSIS

       btlaunchmany [options ...]  directory

       btlaunchmanycurses [options ...]  directory

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the bittorrent-multi-downloader command.

       This  manual  page  was  written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a
       manual page.

       btlaunchmany and btlaunchmanycurses are programs that ease the use of bittorrent  in  multiple-downloader
       situations.   The programs check the provided directory for torrent files. When they find any, they start
       a separate downloader thread for each torrent file. These programs share a common set of  options,  shown
       below.   For  more information on how to run them, and any program-specific options, see their individual
       man pages.

OPTIONS

       These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with  long  options  starting  with  two  dashes
       (`--').

       In  addition  to  the  options  shown below, these programs share the same common options with the normal
       downloaders, which are documented in bittorrent-downloader(1).

       --parse_dir_interval seconds
                 the number of seconds between re-scanning the provided directory (defaults to 60)

       --saveas_style 1|2|3
                 how to name torrent downloads (1 = rename to torrent name, 2 = save under name in torrent, 3  =
                 save   in   directory   under   torrent   name)   (defaults   to  1  for  btlaunchmany,  2  for
                 btlaunchmanycurses)

       --display_path 0|1
                 whether to display the full path or the torrent contents for each torrent (defaults  to  1  for
                 btlaunchmany, 0 for btlaunchmanycurses)
