btpd for Debian
---------------

The Bittorrent Protocol Daemon is started as a system wide daemon, running
with its own system user. Regular users may control it through the btcli
interface.

The home directory for the daemon is /var/lib/btpd, torrents are downloaded
in /var/lib/btpd/files/<torrent_directory>. <torrent_directory> is specified
with the mandatory -d switch of the btcli add command.

Finally, each message from btpd is logged in /var/log/btpd.log.

Not properly a recommendation, but consider the -n switch when you add a
torrent. This specifies the list command name. When not given, the name of
the .torrent is assumed. This may be annoying with file names containing
non-ASCII characters, which will break list formatting. 

Have fun with this great piece of software!
