Bit Torrent download with Konqueror

I can get Konqueror to download a bit torrent file. Is there some
special way to invoke this? I am trying to download the Suse 10.1
install dvd.

In KDE the bit torrent tool is KTorrent usually under K -> Internet -> Data
Exchange in 10.0 version of SUSEs KDE

Not sure if Konqueror has an IOSlave for bit torrent, could be proven wrong
of course.

I tried to install Ktorrent. I get an icon in Internet > Data Exchange,
but when I click on the icon nothing happens. I am using gnome. Anyway I
will boot up Windoze and do the download.

I just installed Ktorrent through YaST. Went into Firefox
and clicked on a Bittorrent link (the Suse 10.1 for example),
and told FireFox to open the link using Ktorrent.
This automatically starts Ktorrent which then start the
download.

I find that (using kde) that ktorrent actually starts, but resides in
the background until I ask for the gui (click its icon).

Thanks for this information. Once I installed a good copy of ktorrent,
it did work this way! (Where is over here?)

Victor et al.

Good to hear you got a Torrent client working. I must admit I had some
problems with the KTorrent that 10.0 had supplied so downloaded and
compiled the latest version, I think from the KDE.org (or related sites).

It seems the latest version has some more features.

One thing I came across was the ability to control KTorrent via the KDE DCop
interface. Have crontab call this bash script and it will shutdown KTorrent
automatically.

#! /bin/bash
/opt/kde3/bin/dcop --user <username> ktorrent KTorrent stopAll
/opt/kde3/bin/dcop --user <username> ktorrent MainApplication-Interface quit

A start script should be (I could not get this one to work successfully
though):

#! /bin/bash
/opt/kde3/bin/ktorrent &
/opt/kde3/bin/dcop --user <username> ktorrent KTorrent startAll

Replace the <username> (<> included) with the user who is running the
KTorrent.

I use this to stop KTorrent before a certain time where my ISP resets my
daily download allowance, so I use up the remaining capacity for that day
and have a clean slate for the next day.

Cheers
Jim

Actually you may be able to use Ktorrent's built in scheduler for this.
Just load the plugin, enable scheduling and edit the schedule - It's new
in the latest release

I think that was on the feature list for the next version IIRC when I
downloaded my current version, might give the new one a test drive.
