First off, I know this is unrelated, but I still have to say it: thanks for such a wonderful program. I've been using it for a really long time now, through different GNU/Linux systems, window managers and desktops.

Now, as for my query. I have a problem which is not a bug, but rather a lack of feature. If Ktorrent is running at home, and I'm at the office, I cannot point it to read from a torrent file using the command line. Having a web GUI would be nice, but wouldn't solve my problems, which are:
1. I want it to read a file located there, not where I'm at.
2. I want to be able to view my statistics through command line because...
3. I don't want anyone who is looking over my shoulder to notice what "website" I'm at right now, it's annoying and obtrusive.

Now, since I cannot (currently, being without the proper firearm) prevent people from looking over my shoulder, I just do many things in command line with tabbed terminals and no one is the wiser. Yes, these are the people I work with.

Anyone, is there any way I could tell ktorrent (that is already running) to start a new download on a certain torrent file or address?
Could anyone point me to a way of writing such functionality without patching the source code?

Thanks again,
Sawyer.

There's a CLI wrapper provided for KT using scripts that communicate via DCOP/DBUS with a running KT instance, you may want to search the forum for details.

yeah i found that as well.
i'm trying to load a torrent with it. it seems a bit uncomfortable.

i'll try to use it to write a perl CLI frontend to use instead.

thanks again, you were really helpful!
