Downloading via Bit Torrent

Note: Bit torrents work by person to person file sharing. Please leave your torrent running for a while after your download is complete so others can download the file from you.
The ISO file may be downloaded via bit torrent. The procedure is simple. Partial downloads can be stopped and resumed.

We begin distributions with a trackerless (DHT) torrent file (a tracker may be added later) . This type of torrent file is not recognized by all bit torrent clients. The procedure for downloading a Pricelessware ISO file using µTorrent:

1. download µTorrent http://www.utorrent.com
2. No installation is required. Put the µTorrent file where you want it and start it running.
3. Check your "torrent option" settings to make sure you have check marks in the boxes for "enable DHT" and "enable DHT for new torrent"."
4. In the file menu select "add torrent from URL"
5. paste the torrent file's URL into the URL box.
6. It may be several minute before uTorrent finds the download - be patient.

Linux users report that µTorrent works well when run in Wine.
Linux users may also use rtorrent/libtorrent to download via trackerless torrents. http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/
