Rubyx used to use BitTorrent actually. I'm not sure why Andrew wrote his own.
It doesn't bother me --in fact I kind of like ww since it is just one
program, I was able to get it working in minutes. BitTorrent, on the other
hand, well, I'm still not sure how to do. That might seem dumb on my part,
but you know, I only have so much time to figure things out. When I hit
bt<tab> in my shell I get:
btcompletedir btlaunchmanycurses.bittornado
btcompletedir.bittornado btmakemetafile
btcompletedirgui btmakemetafile.bittornado
btcompletedirgui.bittornado btmaketorrentgui
btcopyannounce btreannounce
btdownloadcurses btreannounce.bittornado
btdownloadcurses.bittornado btrename
btdownloadgui btrename.bittornado
btdownloadgui.bittornado bts
btdownloadheadless btsethttpseeds
btdownloadheadless.bittornado btshowmetainfo
bterm btshowmetainfo.bittornado
btlaunchmany bttrack
btlaunchmany.bittornado bttrack.bittornado
btlaunchmanycurses
Spare me.
I wish ww was written in Ruby though!
