how the hell do i install this??? i looked at install document and it absoulutely made no sense to me...help???

Can you try to be a little more specific in your question as

could mean anything?

e.g.: program, version, every little detail helps.

I've installed the rpm i get from http://bitconjurer.org/BitTorrent/download.html
by doing "rpm -ivh bittorentXXXXX.rpm"

but after doing that i don't know what to do?

plz help

(i'm using mandrake 9.1)

just download *.torrent files and open them with either btdownloadgui.py or with btdownloadcurses.py

Basically, you need to find a file you want to download, and click on the link. That lets bittorrent know what you are looking for, and goes and gets it from lots of people. bittorrent is very different from programs like kazza. If you don't have any idea where to get a file, or want to practice, try http://www.redvsblue.com

I found torrents and i can download them, but the internet is going verry slow when i download.

i tried to set up a upload/download limt

normal i use "./btdownloadcurses.py afile.torrent" but than it has no limit

when i do "./btdownloadcurses.py" i get one of the options is "--max_upload_rate <arg>
maximum kB/s to upload at, 0 means no limit (defaults
to 0)
"

but when i do "./btdownloadcurses.py --max_upload_rate 9 afile.torrent" i get
"These errors occurred during execution:
[14:09:25] error: Too many args - 0 max.
run with no args for parameter explanations"

and when i do "./btdownloadcurses.py --max upload rate 9 afile.torrent"
i get
"These errors occurred during execution:
[14:10:03] error: option --max not a unique prefix
run with no args for parameter explanations"

does enyone know the correct commando?

thnx

hell man you are downloading so why not uploading? its the goal of p2p systems so get to life with it !
but have you ever tried ./btdownloadcurses blabla.torrent --upload blabla ???

I tried what was above, but didn't work

and i also upload, but I'm trying to get for the upload and downlowd speed a limit so other people can still use the internet.

Anyone That knows if it is possile to get lynx to work with bittorrent?
I run a slackware without any X and it would be cool to use lynx but i suppose it won't be possible.

Put the file URL first before the upload rate flag.

not directly but you can just download the .torrent files and after downloading them just open them using the btdownloadcurses.py blabla.torrent command its text based ...
