& vs nohup

[M.W. Chang]

What's the difference between "command &" and "nohup command"?

I tried to run `btdownloadheadless --responsefile abc.torrent --saveas 
abc &`. The process stopped instantly. However, doing the same with
`nohup btdownloadheadless --responsefile abc.torrent --saveas abc` can 
keep it going, with output directed to nohup.txt.
