Bug Description
The man page for ctorrent looks like a template that didn't get edited -- it documents only an "--example" option (which doesn't actually exist), and a "bar" related command (which also doesn't exist).
I took some time to create a new ctorrent.1 roff file that's based on the usage information of the command, and am placing my work in the public domain (which means you can re-license it if you want).

Hi Jon-
Thanks for the bug report.
I have triaged it against the ctorrent package, rather than the manpage repository, as that's the package that provides the manpage itself.
This manpage is actually generated from SGML source. If you could provide this as a patch, I would be happy to sponsor it into Ubuntu, and pass it back to Debian.
From an Ubuntu system, run:
$ apt-get source ctorrent
$ sudo apt-get build-dep ctorrent
And work on ctorrent- 1.3.4-dnh3. 3.2/debian/ ctorrent. sgml
Then, add a new entry in the debian changelog with:
$ dch -i
Next, build the binary package.
$ debuild
Then, make sure that the roff page came out correctly.
$ man -l ./ctorrent.1
Once that looks good, build a source package.
$ debuild -S
And generate a debdiff:
$ debdiff > /tmp/293722.debdiff
Once that looks good, attach it here and I can sponsor it for you.
Cheers,
:-Dustin
