Maybe we need to have a wiki page with download instructions, scripts, 
or other info, on using the torrent systems to download LO.  I have used 
Frostwire on Windows and I have KGet on my Ubuntu 12.04 main desktop.

I really do not know anything about using scripts to help with the 
torrent work on Linux, so what you have shown is not something I have 
dealt with before.

For myself, it is much easier to download directly than from a torrent 
secession.
