You must read the Remastering FAQ, because that is what you have to do. Then just apt-get bittorrent and create a new CD and voilá, you got bittorrent. The outline of the steps is:
1. Copy the Knoppix CD to a HD partition
2. Use it to boot and get onto the internet
3. apt-get bittorrent
4. Create a new condensed Knoppix
5. Create a new iso image
6. Burn the iso image

--If you are installed to HD, just ' apt-get update; apt-get install bittorrent '.

--I found out which files to use for BT by doing ' dpkg -L bittorrent |less ' and looking for anything in *bin dirs. Here's a helpful script you can use, don't forget to chmod +x it: # BEGIN btor


#!/bin/bash

# This is for Squid
#export ftp_proxy=http://10.0.0.1:3128/
#export http_proxy=http://10.0.0.1:3128/

# BitTorrent download
time btdownloadcurses --url $* \
--max_uploads 2 \
--rerequest_interval 240 \
--display_interval 3
##END


' btor ' takes exactly one argument, like so:
btor http://files.redvsblue.com/torrent/RvB_Episode16_LoRes.mov.torrent
