Quick How-To Use ctorrent on iphone

hi, here are some tips to use this program on iphone:

1. Download Safari Download Plug-in from the habitual repositories, so you can save the *.torrent file on your machine, downloads goes to /var/mobile/Library/Downloads/

2. Open MobileTerminal, it will be on /var/mobile directory with user "mobile".
You now just need to call ctorrent with the appropriate flags:

Some important flags:
|-p port | port to listen
|-s filename | download dir or file (without this, your donwload will be saved to current dir)
|-P peer_id and
|-A user_agent | very usefull for trackers that don't allow ctorrent, you can mask yourself as uTorrent or other:
|-X command | run command on completion

for more flags go to http://www.rahul.net/dholmes/ctorrent/userguide.html

example:

$ctorrent -p 4567 -s /var/mobile/destdir/ -P "-UT1610-" -A "uTorrent/1610" /var/mobile/Library/Downloads/slackware12.1.torrent
(note: this is untested but should work)
