how to download torrent files with remote ubuntu server via ssh?

I've tried using bittorrent but when I turn off putty the download process also stops

Answer 1

You can move a process into the background with the & operator in Bash.

For example, to run some Python process in the background:

$ python somefile.py &

So you can run whatever torrent client you're using in the background by adding a & at the end.
