I'm not sure why Andrew wrote his own. It doesn't bother me --in fact I kind of like ww since it is just one program, I was able to get it working in minutes. BitTorrent, on the other hand, well, I'm still not sure how to do. That might seem dumb on my part, but you know, I only have so much time to figure things out. When I hit bt in my shell I get: btcompletedir btlaunchmanycurses.bittornado btcompletedir.bittornado btmakemetafile btcompletedirgui btmakemetafile.bittornado btcompletedirgui.bittornado btmaketorrentgui btcopyannounce btreannounce btdownloadcurses btreannounce.bittornado btdownloadcurses.bittornado btrename btdownloadgui btrename.bittornado btdownloadgui.bittornado bts btdownloadheadless btsethttpseeds btdownloadheadless.bittornado btshowmetainfo bterm btshowmetainfo.bittornado btlaunchmany bttrack btlaunchmany.bittornado bttrack.bittornado btlaunchmanycurses Spare me. I wish ww was written in Ruby though! T.
