This manual page documents briefly the btdownloadgui
command.
This manual page was written for the Debian distribution
because the original program does not have a manual page.
btdownloadgui is a GUI interface to download torrents.
btdownloadgui will open a provided torrent URL or
file and download it until complete. It will then seed (upload) the
torrent until it is stopped.
This program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long
options starting with two dashes (`--'). A summary of options is included
below.

program uses the same common options as the other bittorrent downloaders,
