Torrent Client - Command line - Windows

I just wonder Is there any command line torrent client ? Like wget downloader.


Solution 1:

Most of the common command-line clients should compile under cygwin in Windows. I have rtorrent running this way on a couple of Windows machines.

Edit: another thought: I assume that Python based clients should run under Windows too if you install Python. Though off the top of my head I can't think of such a client that is actively maintained (the original "official" client was Python based, but IIRC uTurrent has replaced that).

Solution 2:

aria2 is a command line downloader with BitTorrent support and Windows binaries available.

Solution 3:

Also, aria2 supports torrents. It's a multi-platform project (Win32 included).

Solution 4:

I know Transmission has a command line client for its Unix releases that is called transmission-cli.

And I know they have a Windows client, but its newish.

It might have a command line interface. It's worth checking out
