To use alternate options for iTorrent, you'll need to run it from the command
line. To run iTorrent from the command line, Windows users need to open a
command prompt, cd
into the iTorrent-alpha-2
directory,
and run iTorrent
:
> iTorrent
Mac users need to open a terminal, cd
into the
iTorrent-alpha-2/iTorrent.app/Contents/MacOS
directory, and run
iTorrent
:
$ ./iTorrent
iTorrent has several options that can only be used if you start iTorrent from
the command-line (rather than double-clicking on iTorrent
). To
view all of the available options, run iTorrent with the --help
command-line option:
> iTorrent --help
For example, if you want iTorrent to use port 3333 instead of its default port
80, you need to supply the --control_port
option on the
command-line:
> iTorrent --control_port 3333
When you run iTorrent from the command-line, you can stop iTorrent by pressing Ctrl-C or Ctrl-Break, rather than closing the terminal window.
