Which debian package is this "btdownloadcurses" command from? As far
as I know, it could be from either bittorrent or bittornado.
it says:
got bad file info - path ~最新最快影片每日更新.url disallowed for security reasons
My very uninformed guess is that your bittorrent client reads the
.torrent file and sees that (according to information in the .torrent
file) it is supposed to store some downloaded content in a file with
that name.
But the bittorrent client doesn't like that name. It doesn't want to
create a file with that name. Maybe it doesn't like the name because
it doesn't like path components that begin with a '~' character.
What I have said above is only a guess.
they recommend using bitcomet, which supports Windows/android/macos,
not linux
Bitcomet (as far as I know) is not packaged in debian. As didier
pointed out, Debian has a lot of other bittorrent clients packaged.
Find one of those that looks like it might suit you, and try it
out. That is what I would do.
why btdownloadcurses can't open it?
It seems to me that it *did* open the bittorrent file you've
attached. It opened it, parsed the information inside, found some
information it didn't like, and reported that to you.
A bittorrent file is not content. Instead, it is information *about*
content (some collection of files) that is stored (hopefully) on other
people's devices. In other words, it's just meta-data that can help
you obtain the data you are interested in. In a bittorrent file is
information that a bittorrent client can use, to find those other
devices, and then ask some of them to send you pieces of that content.
