In case you were wondering it was Alx5692 who ported bittorrent most excellently. I added the feature to connect to 'a torrent site', browse new torrents, download them and transfer the file (Multifile torrents are still being worked out). I use it for ALL my downloading because: Its silent, it consumes less power, its way more stable!!(Never crashed on me while downloading), You can do anything except play games while you're downloading, (I watch all the movies I've downloaded and run/test other python scripts as well as run my FTP server.), and it makes it super easy to take huge files to a buddy's house for a direct transfer. XBMC and others are amazing video players that output to TV. I actually don't play many games on my xbox. I'm currently writing a python script that will handle RAR, XISO, ZIP and any other format I can include so RARed xbox packages never have to go to PC. Ironic that there aren't any xbe's that I know of to deal with XISO's
BTW I can vouche for the fact that E-mule works under Gentoox. As does ABC Bittorrent. But with 64MB you really can't do too much else under linux during download:(
If you want the bittorrent script get the BitBox14complete file from
