    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

    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.

    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!

    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!

    well I'm not sure if its really downloading many times at once since I discovered that all the download/upload rates are all almost the same ?.? And also new lines of status keep showing up...

    Use btdownloadcurses.py instead of btdownloadheadless.py

    curses? LoL -.-

    what's the difference?

    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.

    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
