## Torrent utility
## Commands
There's a provided utility that downloads torrents from the command-line.
Here I'll describe what some of the provided commands in `./cmd` do.
Note that [`godo`](https://bitbucket.org/anacrolix/go-utils) that I invoke in the following examples is a command that builds and executes a Go import path, like `go run`. It's easier to use this convention than to spell out the install/invoke cycle for every single example.
### torrent
Downloads torrents from the command-line.
$ go get github.com/anacrolix/torrent/cmd/torrent
$ torrent 'magnet:?xt=urn:btih:ZOCMZQIPFFW7OLLMIC5HUB6BPCSDEOQU'

### torrentfs
torrentfs mounts a FUSE filesystem at `-mountDir`. The contents are the torrents described by the torrent files and magnet links at `-torrentPath`. Data for read requests is fetched only as required from the torrent network, and stored at `-downloadDir`.
$ mkdir mnt torrents
