rtorrent: Add a torrent file or magnet to be downloaded.

try on your machine

The command "rtorrent ${torrent_or_magnet}" is a command-line instruction used to launch the rTorrent application with a specified torrent file or magnet link.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "rtorrent": It is the name of the application to be executed, which is rTorrent in this case. rTorrent is a popular command-line based BitTorrent client used for downloading and managing torrents.

  • "${torrent_or_magnet}": This is a placeholder representing the actual torrent file or magnet link to be used by rTorrent. You need to replace "${torrent_or_magnet}" with the path or URL pointing to the specific torrent file you want to download or the magnet link you want to start downloading.

By executing this command, rTorrent will open and start downloading the torrent file or magnet link provided. The specific behavior and options may vary based on the configuration of the rTorrent application.
