In this video, I will be showing you how to BitTorrent using magnet links and .torrent file link address on Ubuntu Linux command-line interface (CLI). Aria2 is a multi-protocol CLI download utility tool. One of the supported protocols is BitTorrent, which I am going to be demonstrating throughout this video. I will be using the aria2c command and performing 3 different variations of this aria2c command. The first two commands, will show you how to download a single torrent in two different ways. The third command will show you how to torrent two or more (multiple) torrents in sequence. Aria2c lets you download torrents using both magnet links and .torrent file link addresses.

Steps To BitTorrent On Ubuntu CLI Via Magnet Links And .Torrent File Link Addresses:
1. Open the command line on your Ubuntu Linux computer. If you're using an Ubuntu Linux cloud server or Virtual Private Server (VPS), you will need to log in to your server using an SSH client. Here is a video of mine which shows you how to log in to your server via the SSH protocol using an SSH client    • How To Install PuTTY on Windows 10  

Note: From step 2 onwards, refer to "Aria2 Commands:" below for each

2. Install aria2
3. Check to see if aria2 has been installed on your device
4. This step is optional, but it is advised to navigate to a directory (folder) where you want to download your torrents to. You can do this by first navigating to your desired directory using the change directory command (cd) and then creating subfolders. For example, in this video tutorial, I navigated to /media/software. Here is a video of mine which shows you how create new folders    • How To Make New Directories or Folder...  
5. You can check the files and folders in your current directory by using the list files command (ls)
6. Find a torrent you would like to download and copy either its magnet link or .torrent file link address
7. Enter one of the below aria2c commands in "Aria2 Commands:" and paste in your magnet link or .torrent file link address enclosed on either end with an apostrophe (') or a quotation mark (").
8. Your torrent will then begin downloading, once complete, seeding will commence. If an aria2c option hasn't been specified regarding seeding, then your torrent will be seeded by your indefinitely. You can stop a torrent download any further or stop seeding a torrent by pressing ctrl+c on your keyboard.

Aria2 Commands:
apt install aria2
aria2c --version
cd Your_Directory_Here
ls
aria2c --seed-ratio=1.0 'link'
ctrl+c
ls
aria2c --seed-time=0 'link'
ctrl+c
aria2c -Z 'link1' 'link2'
ctrl+c
aria2c --seed-ratio=1.0 -Z 'link' 'link'

Aria2c Options Key:

--seed-ratio=RATIO

This aria2c option will seed completed torrents until share ratio reaches RATIO. You are strongly encouraged to specify a seed ratio of equal to or greater than 1.0.

--seed-time=MINUTES

This aria2c option will seed completed torrents until the specified time limit of MINUTES has elapsed.

Note 2: Specifying --seed-time=0 disables seeding after the download has completed. This is only advised if bandwidth constraints are an issue for you.

-Z

This aria2c option will enable you to download multiple torrents in the sequentially

Congratulations, you have successfully downloaded torrent(s) using the Ubuntu Linux CLI tool known as Aria2c.
