Bitflu

Bitfu is a BitTorrent client designed to run non-stop as a daemon. Bitflu does not provide a graphical interface, but offers a telnet interface and can handle multiple torrent downloads.

Features:

• Multiple downloads
• Designed to run as a daemon/No GUI: You can connect to the client using 'telnet'
• Security: The client can chroot itself and drop privileges
• Bandwith shaping (currently only upload)
• Crash-Proof design: Crashes or a full filesystem will never corrupt your downloads again
• Non-Threading/(almost)Non-Forking design: All connections are handled in non-blocking state using a dynamic select loop
