Anyone using BitTorrent? I installed the RPM from the extras/testing YDL repository (bittorrent-gui and dependencies), but can't get it to run properly. It's supposed to sit in the background until you download a .torrent file (in a browser) and then start up. At least that's the way it behaves on my work machine (Debian x86), and according to the research I did on the problem, that's proper behavior for bittorrent-gui.
I tried Derick's trick for locating bittorrent-gui, since using other approaches in a terminal didn't yield anything: # find / -name "*bittorrent*" -print > findbt the file "findbt" is: /var/cache/yum/extras-testing/packages/bittorrent-gui-3.4.1-0.ydx.0.noarch.rpm /var/cache/yum/extras-testing/packages/bittorrent-3.4.1-0.ydx.0.noarch.rpm /var/cache/yum/extras-testing/headers/bittorrent-0-3.4.1-0.ydx.0.noarch.hdr /var/cache/yum/extras-testing/headers/bittorrent-gui-0-3.4.1-0.ydx.0.noarch.hdr /usr/share/mimelnk/application/x-bittorrent.desktop /usr/share/doc/bittorrent-3.4.1 /usr/share/mime/application/x-bittorrent.xml I'm confused here. Shouldn't bittorrent-gui be in /usr/bin? Why is it only in the yum cache file? Here's what yum reports: $ yum info bittorrent-gui Looking in Installed Packages: Name : bittorrent-gui Arch : noarch Version: 3.4.1 Release: 0.ydx.0 Size : 17.59 kB Group : Applications/Internet Repo : Locally Installed Summary: GUI versions of the BitTorrent file transfer tool Description: This package contains the GUI versions of the BitTorrent file transfer tool. The documentation (/usr/share/doc/bittorrent-3.4.1) is pretty sketchy, and there is no manpage, unfortunately.
