This all looks fine - but how the hell am I supposed to use ^S and ^Q over ssh in my shell? This always only works out to stop and resume scrolling.

Any easy fix to this? I’m using PuTTY from XP to Debian Etch with bash 3.1.17 on a NSLU2…

this is great, i’m trying to do just what Benji described, and the bash script to automagically add torrents from rss, that’s more than i was looking for, but i even found a little more in other site (http://avi.alkalay.net/2007/11/encrypt-bittorrent.html) it says

Some evil ISPs implement traffic shaping to specifically limit BitTorrent bandwidth. This brings slower downloads to you and your peer.
….
Please configure your client to encrypt connections. You will have faster downloads

and finally describes how to enable encription in rTorrent

This is correct: Z|X|C == decrease global download speed about 1|5|50 KB/s

You have a tiny error there. ^D doesn’t pause and _resume_. First it stops the download, another ^D and it deletes the torrent file, and removes it from the list. To resume a paused torrent you must use ^S. So, ^D to pause and ^S to resume.
