None. Fedora is based of RH. In cases where you can't find rpms for Fedora, ones from RH 9 would work.
Just get the source. You don't need to do compilation for Bittorrent. Just need to run it with Python 2••• Like us on Facebook to qualify for discounts! •••

Yes you can do it from SSH
Let say you extracted the tar package.
cd Bittorent (or whatever the directory is)
In order to read the options, you can run it without parameters. For example
python2 btdownloadheadless.py
At the minimum, the options to use are --url 'http://path/to/torrent' and it will start downloading.••• Like us on Facebook to qualify for discounts! •••

Use apt-rpm, you can install software with one command!

http://newrpms.sunsite.dk/ << This is where bittorrent is
Of course you can also use yum!::. www.diginode.net : Dedicated Servers : Virtual Machine Servers .::

I ran this command:
python2 btdownloadheadless.py --url 'http://path/to/torrent'
then it start downloading, but why is there so many status of downloading?? is it downloading many times at once?
The status is like this:
saving: torrent (3 MB)
percent done: 0.1
time left: 17 hour 03 min 52 sec
download to: /usr/bin/torrentfile
download rate: 6.64 kB/s
upload rate: 0.00 kB/s
download total: 0.4 MiB
upload total: 0.0 MiB
and there's so many of them and at different download rate...
is it downloading many times at once?
and to stop downloading, you just need to struck a keyboard, isnt it?
Thanks for your help! I got bittorrent installed on my box now!

Use btdownloadcurses.py instead of btdownloadheadless.py

btdownloadcurses will just show a second status box and update accordingly. btdownloadheadless basically scroll new lines to show the latest upload /download data. It isn't downloading many times.
Both works equally well.••• Like us on Facebook to qualify for discounts! •••

i dont like the official bt client to be honist...
if you want to go commandline, i would recommend ctorrent
its a c++ client, and its much nicer in my opinion.
http://ctorrent.sourceforge.net
i use it on my servers to seed about 40 torrents.
if your worried about compiling it, i can compile a binary for you
