Socks and CLI torrent program

[Bibek Shrestha]

Humm, what im trying to do is tunnel my torrent connection through ssh -D
(socks) proxy.
Well if anyone has successfully ran a command line based torrent
application, please post.

Right now my only way is to run utorrent in virtualbox which has a native
support for socks proxy.

I'll give ktorrent 3 a try tomorrow, but konsole (terminal) client through
socks would be awesome.

I've tried using tsocks to sockify but isn't working as it should.

Cheers all.
