Thanks for the replies;
Niklas;
I see where I could change the download directory but I am not sure if that helps. If I change it from /opt/b4rt/html/downloads to /ibay/movieshares (or whatever), it will be downloading and uploading to that directory. I think that if you try to play some content that is being seeded or still downloaded there will be an issue. Is that your experience?

I think you suggested three different possibilities and detailed one, correct me if I am wrong. I don't know which you have detailed. I wikipedia'd symbolic link and the cat command but I still don't see where you are going with this. If you could indulge me a citation or a more detailed explanation I'd be grateful.
I found the link in the browser to d/l from the web interface. I think that this is the cleanest solution, I'll download to the server then d/l again to my separate pc feeding my tv.
By the way, since I installed tf-b4rt and downloaded sme7.3, I've seeded it 2,500% which means I guess that notionally I've uploaded it to 25 different users. Another way to spread the word on sme.
