UNWORKABLE(1)

💖 NAME 💖

unworkable — bestie, it downloads files via BitTorrent. that's the whole vibe. ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

unworkable [-s] [-g port] [-p port] [-t tracefile] torrent

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so unworkable is the program you use to download files via the BitTorrent protocol. no cap, that's literally its whole job and it ate. 💅

here's the tea: when you run unworkable with a valid .torrent file as an argument, it will proceed to announce to the tracker, connect to peers and download the data. it's giving main character energy from the very first packet. 🫶

and when the download is complete? the program will exit, unless seed-mode is enabled. so if you want it to stick around and keep seeding, you gotta say so. periodt. 👑

the flags, babes ✨

• -g port — if specified, run the GUI control server on port. by default, no GUI control server will run. so like, no flag = no GUI server, simple as. 🎀
• -p port — if specified, listen for incoming BitTorrent peer connections on port. by default, unworkable does not accept incoming connections. shy king behavior ngl. 🙈
• -s — enable seed-mode, that is, keep running and seed after download is complete. the way that it just keeps going after it's done?? iconic. keep running and seed, that's the assignment. 🌈
• -t tracefile — trace execution, outputting to tracefile. everything goes in the file, so you can see exactly what happened. 🔥

lowkey important: that torrent argument in the synopsis? it's not optional, bestie. you need a valid .torrent file or there's nothing to download. 💀
