Somewhat OT: BItTorrent Documentation

Anybody know where I can find the documentation for the Linux 
implementation of bittorrent (e.g. bittorrent-curses, bittorrent-tracker, 
maketorrent-console), the stuff you get when you say "yum install 
bittorrent" on FC6?

I figured out how to use ktorrent to download the F7 ISOs and then make 
them available for others, but I can only do that if I have the ktorrent 
client running... which is inefficient and rather not-so-easy to do if I'm 
1000 miles away from my server.

I'd like to set up bittorrent to run continuously in the background and 
make the F7 ISOs available continuously over a multi-megabyte backbone in 
the Northeast, but to do that I need to figure out how to run the 
bittorrent components.

Tried "man bittorrent" and "bittorrent --help" and "info bittorrent" and 
searched throughout Google (the only two documentation links I found led to 
non-existent pages).
