Getting started
- Start bitflu: ./bitflu.pl
- Connect to the client using telnet localhost 4001
- Type help
Add a new .torrent file for download
- Place the .torrent file somewhere on the Server running bitflu
- Execute load /path/to/file.torrent
- Run vd. The file should appear in the download list
If Bitflu somehow failed to load the .torrent file, check if:
- The path to the file is correct (hint: chroot?!)
- The path to the file does NOT contain Whitespaces
- Bitflu has permission to read the file
Handling 'Multifile-Torrents'

- files ${hash} exclude 1-20 excludes file 1-20
- files ${hash} include 2 starts/resumes the download of file #2
Cancel a file
- Run vd to get a list of all torrents currently down/uploaded
- Run cancel HASH (eg. cancel 13535ab35ac331def165aabd3adb3afdeadb4bea)
