    X Less Internet

    Hi,

    I sometimes download large files using torrent clients.

    The PC I use for the purpose is an old Celeron 2.13, 384MB Ram.

    I am running Lucid.

    What I want is to run a torrent client without the X Server. This will further minimize the load on the PC.

    I have never used Linux without the GUI except for some admin tasks.

    Please suggest me a torrent client which can run without the X and how to do this.

    transmission has both a cli and web interface as well as the default GTK interface, and I believe rtorrent is entirely CLI.
    There's no place like ~/

    That just hides it. You'll want to uninstall it.

    I don't really want to uninstall it. I may need it later.

    Is there a way to "stop" it ? and then when needed "start" it ?

    Code:
    sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
    or possibly

    Code:
    sudo service gdm stop
    replace stop with start for the reverse effect.

    NOTE: This is assuming you're using the default Ubuntu installation. For Kubuntu, I believe that you should stop kdm instead. For Xubuntu, I think it's still gdm. No idea about lubuntu; probably uses a non-daemonized display manager, like slim, which may need to be "kill"ed with pkill or killall.

    No, actually I am using BodhiLinux which is based on Ubuntu 10.04. It uses the Enlightenment Desktop.
