How can I download magnet links through the command line with rtorrent on Linux (Ubuntu)?

I know that I can

  1. Run rtorrent
  2. Hit Backspace
  3. Paste magnet link
  4. Hit Enter

However I want one or several command lines, not keyboard shortcuts.

Best Answer

I know this is pretty old but in case somebody else needs this answer:

rtorrent 'magnet link in quotes'

then this will open up rtorrent with that link.
