aria2 (http://aria2.sourceforge.net/) in another possibility and aria2 supports 
other protocols as well. Actively developed and good documentation.

Thank you for this answer. This does resolve the issue I was experiencing.

I am trying out various command line torrent apps and rtorrent is on
my list (also tried transmssioncli). I have not heard of
moblock/mobloquer. A quick search of gentoo's portage tree doesn't
reveal them. I'm guessing they are programs designed to protect
identity or hide torrent traffic from ISP's?

Lost text input on command line

2008-05-21 Thread Matrix Mole
I was trying out some command line torrent applications among which
was ctorrent. For some reason, after executing ctorrent (wether to
just get the command line flags or even to download/seed a torrent)
the text input on my command line dissappeared. I can still type the
commands and get their results (even the correct screen outputs such
as ls), but there is no echo of those commands to the screen while I'm
typing them. I'm doing this in an rxvt terminal running on Mac OS
10.4.11 connected via ssh to my gentoo box and then inside of screen.
I did try changing the $TERM variable to see if that would help, and
it didn't. I tried googling, but can't really seem to find the right
combination of words to return any results that relate to this issue
in any way. The only way to get my input echoed once again is to exit
out of that screen terminal and just create a new one. Anyone have any
suggestions on what could be causing this and how to resolve it
without having to close out the shell?

Try typing reset without the quotes to see if that helps.

Thank you, I'll try that when I get home from work tonight and see if
that helps.

I realize you've already been given an idea (typing reset...).
This is not necessarily differing from that.
 Some terminal emulators have a mode, intended for use
with a terminal that already has a [local] echo happening, every
time you type a non blank character.  It can be annoying to have,
(say) 'grep' echoed as 'ggrreepp' due to that.  Hence, the mode.
 As for how you got IN to that mode (presumably accidentally!)
I do not know.  For getting out of that mode, hmm, maybe that
idea of typing reset would work.
