How to stop Bittorrent

[Reisswolf]

Hi,

I wanted to start a Bittorrent download, so I typed "bittorrent-curses <torrent-name>" in a terminal. However, the torrent was taking a bit of time to get started, and out of sheer habit I pressed "CTL-C" instead of "q" to end the torrent.

Now I cannot seem to prevent the torrent from starting up in the background. Even if I try to kill the process with "kill -9" it starts up automatically the next time I log in.

Can someone please tell me how I can abort the torrent download for good?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Once again, I use just plain "bittorrent-curses" from the terminal. I don't have Azureus or anything.

It starts automatically when you login?

What the issue you can't stop the active DL?

Hi,

Thanks for your response. Well, the real problem is that whenever I try to start a new download with bittorrent-curses, I don't get the ncurses interface anymore. All I find is that a PID is echoed in the terminal, and that is it.

Without the ncurses terminal I have no way of monitoring the download.
