Command line BitTorrent client with UDP trackers support

Question

Possible Duplicate:
Is there bittorrent software that runs in a terminal?

I tried btdownloadcurses and while it works fine for most of the torrents, it seems to trip over ones where UDP is employed to track the sources.

The messages I am getting are:

Problem connecting to tracker - ('url error', 'unknown url type', 'udp', 'udp://tracker.openbittorrent.com:80

So are there any other command line clients with UDP support?

why is is closed? the alleged duplicate does not address my issue with UDP trackers specifically. — Art, Nov 18 '11 at 14:06

rtorrent should support this protocol.

Try rtorrent. Check out the tutorial here if you don't enjoy browsing through manpages.
