## bittorrent
The [[bittorrent_special_remote|special_remotes/bittorrent]] lets git-annex
also download the content of torrent files, and magnet links to torrents.
You can simply pass the url to a torrent to `git annex addurl`
the same as any other url.
You have to have [aria2](http://aria2.sourceforge.net/)
and bittornado (or the original bittorrent) installed for this
to work.
## podcasts
This is done using `git annex importfeed`. See [[downloading podcasts]].
