term is, a seed.
If you've already got a URL to the metadata file, use:
btdownloadcurses.py --url=http://someserver/somefile.torrent
Run the command without arguments to see what else you can do. You can also
use btdownloadheadless.py if you plan to run the program detached (eg.
inside a "screen" session).
The RPM also includes a btseed service that allows you to drop the seed in
a directory somewhere, but I'm still investigating how to use that.
