Just an FYI for people unfamiliar with bt -

mkdir active
(throw torrent file(s) in active)

nohup btlaunchmany.py active/ > torrent.log &

You can just leave that running forever, set it to start from cron
(though in that case you should script to check if it is already running
before it starts it), whatever.

Whatever .torrent files you want - throw them in there, and they'll get
picked up.

Much better way to get and share the iso's than through gui clients etc.
Once you have it set up to run and start automatically, you don't worry
about it.
