The BitTorrent client is provided as an optional add-on for ELinks, and needs to be enabled at compile time. To build ELinks with BitTorrent support be sure to either pass <code class="literal">--enable-bittorrent</code> to <code class="literal">./configure</code> or change the value of <code class="literal">CONFIG_BITTORRENT</code> to <code class="literal">yes</code> in <code class="literal">features.conf</code>.</p><div class="section" title="Using the BitTorrent Client"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="idp6836656"></a>Using the BitTorrent Client</h2></div></div></div><p>To start the client, first go to a site which offers metainfo files. In the following, we will use the site <a class="ulink" href="http://www.legaltorrents.com/" target="_top">http://www.legaltorrents.com/</a>. Direct ELinks to this site by issuing the command:</p><pre class="literallayout">$ elinks http://www.legaltorrents.com/</pre><p>Use the arrow keys to move between links on the page. Find a link, which points to a metainfo file (a file having the extension <code class="literal">.torrent</code>). This is indicated in the status bar in the bottom line. Once a metainfo file has been located, press the Return key. This should present you with the following dialog, querying whether the client should start to download the torrent:</p><pre class="literallayout">+--------------------------- What to do? ----------------------------+ | | | What would you like to do with the file 'go-open-vol-2.torrent'? | | Information about the torrent: | | Size: 739 MiB (2959 * 262144 + 161542) | | Info hash: d85ef7b05288dc49203a7de97545e6c132834011 | | Announce URI: http://www.legaltorrents.com:7070/announce | | Creation date: Jun 26 08:04 | | Directory: go-open-vol-2 | | | | [X] 105 MiB go-open-episode-07.mp4 | | [X] 105 MiB go-open-episode-08.mp4 | | [X] 105 MiB go-open-episode-09.mp4 | | [X] 104 MiB go-open-episode-10.mp4 | | [X] 105 MiB go-open-episode-11.mp4 | | [X] 107 MiB go-open-episode-12.mp4 | | [X] 106 MiB go-open-episode-13.mp4 | | [X] 22 KiB go-open-vol-2.txt | | | | [ Download ] [ Save ] [ Display ] [ Show header ] [ Cancel ] | +--------------------------------------------------------------------+</pre><p>Press the <code class="literal">[ Download ]</code> button to open the download dialog and start downloading.</p><p>Downloaded files can be found in the directory specified by the option <code class="literal">document.download.directory</code>.
