From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Is that a one shot or are you redrawing it periodically?
there is a simple
readafter the table, so no, it is drawn once. I trid to put a cursor on it, but felt unresponsive and lagging, thusread, kept simpleI wouldn’t worry about it then. If it just spits out a table and lands the user back at their command prompt then you can rely on standard output handling in their environment.
400x100 fullscreen xterm ppl will be happy with that, 80x25 default modeliners will know how to handle it and you won’t even get complaints from the tmux people.
Maybe limit each column to 40 characters. If your torrent titles have more than 40 characters of preamble it’s time to switch release groups…
