Command line torrent client - because a GUI is so 2015

[Gala]

You what i love about Linux? People not bothering making a GUI, but still writing a kick-ass program.

 

rTorrent, full command-driven torrent client.

Windows Powershell version?

Windows Powershell version?

i learned powershell at school, i SO wished for it to be a windows sided bash-like system.

but sadly powershell is a steaming turd when compared to bash...

 

i guess GUI is just to deeply rooted within the windows ecosystem.

Linux revolves around a command line. You even start the gui, from a command line first.

which is an amazing idea, because if your graphics drivers dun fukt up, you can fall back on command line.

 

(which would have come in handy for me on a specific windows box with broken explorer.exe ...)

If anything locks up graphically, you just press alt+ctrl+f2, log in, and kill the GUI and all assosiacted processes in 1 command, and restart the GUI. (called the X Server)
