microknoppix download

[Linux for blind general discussion]

Don't know whats going wrong.
Try it in two steps (both commands as one line).
Download the tracker file:

wget "http://torrent.unix-ag.uni-kl.de/torrents/KNOPPIX_V9.1CD-2021-01-25-EN.torrent"

Download the data to desired directory (-w PATH):

transmission-cli -w ~/tmp KNOPPIX_V9.1CD-2021-01-25-EN.torrent

This worked for me testing it only a minute ago.
