bitorrent source?
 

Does anyone know where I can get Bit Torrent fot my Fedora box? I've downloaded from ;
http://bittornado.com/ , http://bitconjurer.org/BitTorrent/ but wind up with
.........et, etc, etc...
BitTornado-CVS/icon_bt.ico
BitTornado-CVS/black.ico
BitTornado-CVS/btdownloadlibrary.py
BitTornado-CVS/white.ico
[root@localhost BitTornado-CVS]# ./configure
bash: ./configure: No such file or directory


and I don't know what to do with it.

its written in python, no need to compile it, just run it. ./btdownloadgui.py

I now have the Fedora bittorrent-3.3-0.fdr.2.fc1.noarch.rpm installed. When I visit a bittorrent url, shouldn't it begin downloading automatically, or must I first call up bittorrent? If so, what is bittorrent's command?

http://btfaq.com/serve/cache/1.html - instructions on using Bittorrent

When I try to download the following file from http://bt.etree.org/details.php?id=5505, I'm treated to this error;
/tmp/BFFT2004-06-16.torrent could not be opened, because the associated helper application does not exist. Change the association in your preferences.

My options in Firefox on my Fedora Core 1 box are set as;
application/x-bittorrent using these extensions; bittorent, .iso, .ccd, .mds, .bwt, .cdi, .nrg, .rar, .r00, .r01, .rnn, cbr, .cbz, .par, .p01, .pnn, .nfo, .sfv, .cue

and ; open using the default application.

All of the other extensions may be superfluous, but even with only bittorrent as an extension, it still won't work.

I justt installed Azeurus from ; http://azureus.sourceforge.net/howto_linux.php
Now I'll learn how to use it.

you'll need to add the line:
application/x-bittorrent; /usr/bin/btdownloadgui.py %s; test=test -n "$DISPLAY"
to your /etc/mailcap file.

could be wrong, but your extension should .torrent and the 'open with' should point to the btdownloadgui.py file.

Thanks much, but Azureus seems to be doing the trick, and it's trick looking too.

when i try to start azureus i get this error. i cant find the rpm for this version.
i found a bin extention what do i do with a bin extention ?

or does anyone know where ta get the rpm so i can get bt working on my linux machine ?


Thanks

It's self-explanatory - you don't have Java installed.

yes i noticed that 2 but i cant for the life of me find exactly what i need to install

i'm running fedora core.

cheers for your quick reply.

install the latest version of java for linux from their site and see if that works. If not then you may need to symlink the file to the application.
Check all your readme's and install dox provided with your application.

i installed the only jre rpm i could find and get this error ?
rpm -Uvh jre-1.3.1-fcs.i386.rpm


[root@localhost azureus]# ./azureus
Starting Azureus...
Java exec not found in PATH, starting auto-search...

OOPS, you don't seem to have a valid JRE [/usr/java/jre1.3.1/bin/java = Error]
You need to upgrade to JRE 1.4.x or newer from http://java.sun.com
