Thank you! Make sure to install http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jce8... to allow 160-bit cryptography and use -e flag to be completely safe!

I also have a simple shell script locally, that wraps the java command, so I have to just type `btmagnet AF0D9AA01A9AE123A73802CFA58CCAF355EB19F8` to download to a pre-determined location (hardcoded in the script). I wonder if I should share it on the CLI README page

Or don't use the Oracle proprietary distribution but the OpenJDK of your operating system which normally doesn't exclude proper crypto algorithms.

(be aware that the JDKs downgrade silently if certain libraries are missing in your host)

That's some really useful information, thanks! Need to add this to the readme

do it! that'd be my use case more or less.

Done: https://github.com/atomashpolskiy/bt/tree/master/bt-cli#shel...

Or add something like this to your .bashrc

function bt() { java -jar /path/to/bt-launcher.jar -m "magnet:xt=urn:btih:$1" -d /$HOME/Downloads }
