eamon@eamon-desktop:~$ aptitude show bittorrent Package: bittorrent State: installed Automatically installed: no Version: 3.4.2-6ubuntu2 Priority: optional Section: net Maintainer: Michael Janssen Uncompressed Size: 594k Depends: python (< 2.5), python (>= 2.4), lsb-base (>= 3) Recommends: mime-support Suggests: bittorrent-gui Description: Scatter-gather network file transfer BitTorrent is a tool for distributing files. It's extremely easy to use - downloads are started by clicking on hyperlinks. Whenever more than one person is downloading at once they send pieces of the file(s) to each other, thus relieving the central server's bandwidth burden. Even with many simultaneous downloads, the upload burden on the central server remains quite small, since each new downloader introduces new upload capacity. This package contains the tools which are used for console-only downloading. If you want the GUI interface, install the bittorrent-gui package.
