Just a MISC tip, you can use a tool called screen to connect/disconnect to
that bittorrent session.

Thanks - that appears to be working, using the *.torrent I had downloaded 
last night. It also looks like a long haul!

 "saving:         slackware-9.1-iso (625.2 MB)
  percent done:   1.0
  time left:      3 hour 47 min 20 sec
  download to:    slackware-9.1-iso
  download rate:  47 kB/s
  upload rate:    1 kB/s"

Next time I launch it backgrounded with a simple redirection script.
