trouble installing rtorrent
 

I need a good command line torrent client to run on my server (to host quite a few torrents) and from what I found rtorrent seems to be the best. I seem to be having a bit of trouble though. I'm running Cent OS 4.4

Tried "yum install rtorrent" .. I get..

Setting up Install Process
Setting up repositories
Reading repository metadata in from local files
Parsing package install arguments
No Match for argument: rtorrent
Nothing to do

I tried to install it a while back, it downloaded the file but gave me that same "Nothing to do" argument. This is what it says now though. I hate being a newb...

yum can only install packages it nkows exist. it's not a magic genie that can go off and install absolutely any bit of osftware you ask for. you need to install it without using yum, or find a yum repository which does include it and add it to your yum configuration.

How would I find such a repository? Or would I need a magic genie for that too?

google.com would be my first place to go, but i wouldn't be too hopeful.

This might not end up being so hard after all. I'll try a few of these in the morning.

no, they are the ones you already have, you'd be checking ones like dag or livna or karan

I followed the instructions for RPMForge, and rtorrent installed smoothly. Thanks for the help.
